Wow, on the phone with collections while in labor -  I can't even imagine.  You should feel proud that you have come so far, and it's good to know that you are now in a supportive relationship.

 

This forum has helped many, myself included.  The strides that I have made in a little over a year I never thought possible before joining here.  I am forever grateful for the knowledge (and good laughs) gained here.  I stay to learn more, but also to pay-it-forward. 


I entirely agree with you. It's a beautiful experience to be able to share information that one has benefitted from. The best thing that anyone can hope for is to infect another person with hope and light. Smiley Happy

 

Waxing a bit sentimental today... don't mind me.

 

And I also agree about the laughs. This group had me in stiches the whole of last month. (Still not sure if Cold ever got to put on his sweater.)


Nothing wrong with being a little sentimental from time-to-time.Smiley Happy

 

Not sure what happened last month, but the group was in an exceptionally mischievous mood.Smiley Wink  We'll have to ask about the sweater.

 


Ok...now I am going to get a tissue....whenever members PM to thank me for whatever, they ask what they can do...I ALWAYS say, just pay it forward. I am experiencing benefits of rebuiliding credit RIGHT now; opportunities that were not available 4 months ago are happening (pre-approval for mortgage, 20k CL, sign up bonuses, etc) I really owe it all to this group. I heard another member say they stumbled upon myFico via Google....SO did I. I am SO happy I did! 

 


Me too. When I started in the forums in December, I had 10 collections on EX. 10!! By Monday morning of next week, I will have ZERO! From 10-0 in less than two months. When I got from 10 to 8, I checked my EX FICO and it was 598 (so probably a few points lower when I had 10). Come Monday I am hoping to be over 700. In two months. People here are awesome, and have opened doors and save money like nobody's business. Love it!


I love to hear success stories like these. When I first came on these forums, my credit was a mess. I learned so much from other posters and was able to use that information to get myself on track. I also believe in paying it forward, and try to do so in my own small way. This is a wonderful community and I'm so glad that I found it. You folks are the best!


Very heart warming day here in the GC! I agree whole heartedly with all of this!

 

Also- I see someone mentioned Mischief, so naturally, here I am!


I was hoping you would connect with that reference.Smiley WinkSmiley Very Happy

Re: Garden Club Meeting - February 2014

Well, I took my new score out and got exactly what I had been going for this whole time I was rebuilding... an AMEX Hilton HHonors Surpass card. I am so happy right now. I have wanted this card for so long, and knowing that I had no chance of getting it is what started my rebuilding efforts. You guys are all awesome, I can't thank you enough. So even though I ditch my spade for a seedling (which will grow), I do so because I apped responsibly when I knew I could get what I wanted. Which is what I think gardening is all about. So grow, seedling grow. And thanks to all of you for all your support and guidance. You all rock.
