There is no shortage of lunacy on this earth. My brother is a forest ranger in Georgia and says they get crazy stuff in their inbox.  One was something like this: “A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call.” Another one was “Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.”

I think it speaks in part to a sense of entitlement that a lot of people have (they get a lot of weekend naturalists from Atlanta, no surprise).

I never had that. I always had to work for my money, and don’t expect the government or family or friends to provide. Lately I’ve had a hard go of things, with unexpected expenses that usually arrive when you can least afford them. My solution now is Car Title Loans in Clanton.  I own my car outright, so I can borrow against its book value when I have to.

My motto is there are no free elevators for most of us in life. But I take the stairs just fine, thank you.

Just so you know, Clanton is near Calera, Jemison, Maplesville, Thorsby and Verbena, Alabama.

I just took a business course at Lawson State after I lost my last job. Which was great, I never knew how to use all my fingers on the keyboard. And that’s when I learned that TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only one row of the keyboard. Amazing, isn’t it. That’s almost like when there’s a funeral director with the name Bury, or a guy running a fishing boat business is named Rivers. Things like that amaze me.

I’m also amazed at how no matter how cautious I am with money, there just are times when you can’t win. I had just finished paying for my car, after four years of monthly payments, and WHAM, I get sideswiped by some kid on meth or something. He took off, I didn’t get his license plates and they never found him.  Meanwhile, I was only carrying liability coverage on my car, not collision, and I was stuck with an $800 bill unless I was willing to drive around with plastic on a window and the passenger door not able to open.

That’s when I figured out how car title loans work. You go online, fill out a form and the money you need gets there in two days. So I used Car Title Loans in Pelham, because they were super nice and easy to work with. It made sense to me to use my car to cover a car repair cost. I paid back the loan in about six weeks and everything is a-ok again.

From what I hear, people from all around – in Alabaster, Birmingham, Calera, Childersburg, Vestavia Hills and Pelham – use this service, for anything, not just car repairs. It’s money when you need it.
