Prosper gave me the go ahead this morning to post my loan listing, but they also said that they mailed me (as in snail mail, on a postcard) a verification code, so I'm not sure whether I still have to wait until I get that and can verify my account before I can really move forward. The way this week's shaping up, though, the postcard might show up before I get time to put the finishing touches on my request and post my listing, anyway.
A kind Prosper member stopped by here a couple of weeks ago and left some advice in the comment trail to the effect that I should use this waiting period to round up references to post some endorsements on the site for me. I tried that, but no luck. I'm certain that everyone I asked must have reasons for not endorsing me OTHER than that they think I'm not good for the loan. Tess, f'rinstance, told me that the link in the invitation I sent her didn't work and then she got busy and forgot all about it. My mom said she'd do it if I could help her, but we haven't been able to find the mutual time to sit down and walk through the process. I know several other people I sent the request to are insanely busy. And, love my sisters, but they're not the most quick-on-the-draw people I know. Matt would totally do it, but I'm assuming spouses don't count. So there you have it: no endorsement soup for me.
Anyway, I'm getting closer. I'm going to try to have my listing posted by the end of the week.

I filled a recommendation out and had everything ready, but when I posted, things got hinky, and I don't know if it went through or not.
Apparently it didn't. I really appreciate that you tried, though. Thanks.
It it too late to submit one? I honestly meant to do it, but my inbox ate the email. Also, I forgot. *facepalm*
It's never too late!
Seriously, it's not. I haven't even posted my listing yet, and once I do it'll be up for a week. I think even just one endorsement could make a big difference for me. Thank you so much for even intending to, sweetie. *hugs*
I had over 300 hundred emails when I got back from Costa Rica, including the recommendation for you. But as it has vanished, I assume I accidently deleted it as I was cleaning out my inbox.
Could you resend the information?
