My sister is into metaphysical things. Like feeling the planets lined up, and sleeping with a crystal under her pillow. She says she talks to her cats. Claims she saw the Tinley Park  UFOs in 2005. One day, she called all excited about having an out of body experience.

I’m a little more pragmatic. Right now, I’m having an out of money experience. And no crystals, talking cats, aliens or planets are going to solve it.

Given the current adverse circumstances of my life (no health insurance, crazy family, broke my ankle), I have to be resourceful. I use the internet when I have a problem, and it’s amazing how often I find a solution. Paying the doc-in-the-box bill for my ankle was looking like a grim task.  Should I just not eat food this month, or pay for the anaesthesia? Instead, I found out my Corolla could get me a loan from a car title loans company.  Found them online, Tinley Park Title Loans. It really helped me manage this situation so I could,literally, get back on my feet.

Notice I didn’t say it helped me float. That doesn’t seem like it would be a good idea.

By the way Tinley Park  is near Country Club Hills, Matteson, Mokena, Oak Forest, and Orland Park.

I have my favorite fat jokes: What is the best way to forget your troubles? Wear tight clothes. Why is it harder to lose weight as you get older? Because by that time your body and your fat have become really good friends. What happens when you leave an outfit hanging in your closet for a while? It shrinks two sizes.

But I lost my job late last year, and in this job market, you have to pay attention to this. A friend suggested Botox, but I really think losing about 50 pounds would be better. Besides, some of my best clothes are about 50 pounds ago.

I was short on cash as it was but decided I needed to invest in this. It’s an all out effort: I hired a personal trainer/life coach, who works with me three times a week at my new gym, Cardinal Fitness, and I’m on a prepared foods meal plan. I’ve already lost 17 pounds in six weeks!

So where did I find the cash? I have a six year old SUV, so I went online looking for car title loans. I needed about $1500 and discovered at Mokena Title Loans I could get more than that if necessary from my car title. It was perfect — easy application, fast approval, and the money arrived in one day, while I was still motivated to get moving on this. Long story short, it’s working and I’m fitting into my better interview clothes. No joke!

By the way Mokena is near Frankfort, Tinley Park, Orland Park, Midlothian, and Manhattan.
