Sure!
Your group sessions will be at 9, 10:30, 1, 4, and 7, and recreational therapy is at 8, 2:30, and 5.
You'll be too tired for any more app'ing!
Any HVT?? We haven't had much of that for awhile!

Yep, ETA = edit to add.
HVT = harsh verbal therapy, a phrase from the original Sleigh Center days. The first time I saw it, I thought it meant High Voltage Therapy, and I wondered what exactly went on on this site.
Here's SpecFile's classic HVT:
HVT excerpt from the Sleigh Center thread
btw, the relapse rate at the Sleigh Center was somewhere around 140%, as best as I could tell, so you might not want to start reading it.
I'm saving HVT for what I consider dumb, impulsive, unjustifiable apping. The oh-cool-a-Hello-Kitty-card-that-would-be-so-much-fun-to-pull-out-in-front-of-my-friends apping. Or the everyone-else-is-suddenly-apping-WallyWorld-I'd-better-app-too apping.
Like what flitted through my brain last night when I got a letter from Citi saying I was pre-approved to apply for a Platinum Select something-or-other. ("pre-approved to apply?" They're going to allow me to apply? Cool!) One little brain spasm of gee, why not. Then I pulled myself back together.
Actually i was and still am apart of that center. The only thing that stops me from apping is the desire to get a Penfed card.
Positive therapy for me today, posted it in a thread but I'll double dip here as well. Closed Clown Jewelers on my terms, not theirs. Made me feel just as good as apping a new account.
I never felt good about that one, only opened it because "all the kids were doing it".
I have moved LYNN47's post to form a separate thread, titled "Possible to get a BT to pay off CC's?"
Since 2009 began, I have applied for 3 new credit products. I obtained an Orchard Bank Platinum MC and a GEMB Amazon Store card, while creditonebank rejected me b/c my "credit score exceeds the limit" they have for their products.
I vow no more apps for 6 mos.
Also, how many inquires is "too many" during, say, a 6 month span?

I love it! They actually tell applicants when they're too good for Creditone. Finally some truth in lending!

Isn't that kind of like the opposite of apping? That would mean your recent app count is at -1, so you can still app once and be at 0
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I feel like I just walked into an AA meeting carrying a Mojito
