My sister is a nutritionist. She’s always telling me to eat more vegetables, less red meat. I told her red meat is not bad for you. Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.

I should know about that. I was at this diner off Dixie Highway last year that you always wondered about how clean it was. I had a hamburger, no big deal. Two days later I was in the hospital with food poisoning. Bad food poisoning. Needed an IV and everything. And I had insurance through my work, but a month later I got bills from all this stuff that wasn’t covered. Man, what a bad deal that was.

It was hard to figure out how to pay for all that. But I found a way. It’s with car title loans, which allows you to borrow money if your car is paid for. It can be an old car as much as a new car. It’s based on the resale value. So I went to Harvey Title Loans, right here and online. It took me ten minutes to do, and I got my money in the next day.

That beats meat, red or green, and I’m not even going to go into the vegetables.

It’s getting harder and harder to survive in this economy. Last week my boss called me in to tell me I’m on probation. I guess I pissed off the Chairman’s admin with my response to her email THAT CAME WITH ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS IN THE SUBJECT LINE. She was asking me if I COULD FIX THE PHOTOCOPY MACHINE ASAP!!!!

My response was subtle. I just said IT’S GOOD SHE USED ALL UPPERCASE BECAUSE THE MAIL SERVICE PICKS IT UP AND FLAGS IT FOR RUSH DELIVERY, and YEAH, BECAUSE THERE’S ELECTRONICS IN A PHOTOCOPIER WE’RE COPIER REPAIR PEOPLE TOO.

Perhaps I could have phrased it differently.

It would suck to lose my job, in part because I live in East Hazel Crest and my job is on 183rd Street, a five minute commute. But I do have a back up in case an unemployment situation leaves me short of funds. In a pinch for money a year ago, I discovered I can get a car title loan through Country Club Hills Title Loans.

Car title loans are fast, easy and you get your money in one day. All you have to do for a title loans is to hold title to your car (no payments remaining). And you don’t have to type anything in all caps to get approved ASAP.

I was riding the Orange line downtown last week and met a woman who said she was a nurse. The conversation was friendly enough and so I asked a question that was bothering me: Should I have a baby after 35? She looked at me real funny, and said no one should have 35 children. I clarified things for her, but the conversation took a different tone after that.

Which makes you wonder how people get around in the world. We all deal with the challenges of life – family, careers, finances – and you have to be resourceful to make it sometimes. With this economy, I’ve had to look into ways to make ends meet with a disabled husband and (just) one child. I’ve been working two part time jobs for a couple years now, and then one employer just closed up shop in October. I thought about selling my car, but with two children it’s very hard to not have a car.

That’s when I learned about Blue Island Title Loans. A car title loan let’s you get money from your car without selling it. It’s done on the internet, so it’s easy and fast. With my title loan I was able to get some things my kids needed while I looked for another job.

By the way Blue Island is near Robbins, Riverdale, Markham, Harvey, and Pullman.
