That Kruger sped by on his Vespa. It looked like he had one menacing red eye… (Photo: flickr.com)

OK, so this is a story about something called quick payday loans. My brother and I had some fun with a neighbor’s cat, and the weird dude owner threw a rock that broke our car window, and dad needed the extra cash to fix things up.

Here We Go, Into Space

It’s Halloween, and my parents are big fans of the old radio show “War of the Worlds,” so they convince my brother and I to dress up as a fugly Martian and go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. I want to go to the school carnival, but my brother convinces me that we can have a lot of fun. Once he grabs a carton of eggs, he gets me on his wavelength.

Off to Kruger’s Universe

We’re wandering down Elm Street when we come to the house of Old Man Kruger and his spacey cat. He’s really weird. Through the plate glass window in his front yard, we frequently see him sitting there, listening to the radio and acting like a weirdo. How weird do I mean? He talks to the radio, screams and sometimes dances about like a withered, overly-caffeinated stilt-walker. He’s tall, too, so I think of stilts.

My brother Lemmy and I see his space cat wandering around in the front yard, so we decide to have a little fun. With an “oogah” and a “boogah,” we spook the kitty and manage to corner it. Neither of us are going to do anything nasty; we just love being Martians and teasing strange people and their pets.

Long story short, Kruger hurts himself as he’s trying to scare us off. We buzz him with the eggs as we ride off on our bikes, and Kruger curses us and our offal spawn.

Blast a Month Into the Future…

Lemmy and I are playing basketball in our driveway when Kruger speeds by on a Vespa and throws a rock our way. It barely misses my head, and it manages to break the windshield of my dad’s car. He gripes about how he doesn’t have the money to fix it right now, but I hear from mom that he’s thinking about going online to some company called Personal Money Market. They can loan him fast cash that he won’t have to pay back until his next payday. It isn’t very expensive, either, which is great, because I want him to buy me a new bike soon.

Until the windshield is fixed, he’s riding my bike to work. Every morning, I hear him break out his best imitation of some old guy named Orson Welles: “Kruger, our worlds are at war…”

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you needed prescription medication but didn’t have insurance or the money to pay for it (we all know medication can be expensive), you know that you’re between a rock and a hard place. I had an experience with Personal Money Market a little while back that turned me on to the possibilities a payday loan can have. If you need a loan to help in an emergency, I highly recommend them.

First, let me tell you my story

So I was pitching for semi-pro baseball team after work last summer. It was a blast until I started working on throwing the curveball. You see, I was all about the heat. Dead red. The cheese. Suffice it to say, I had a great fastball. But I decided to show batters a new wrinkle one day, and the curve was my pet project.

I guess I threw my arm a curve

I was getting great bite on a 12-to-6 beauty through the first few innings, then without warning, I snapped one off and my pitching forearm felt like it was on fire. I had to come out of the game and get over to a doctor friend’s place so he could look at it. Thank goodness he didn’t charge me for an office visit. Turns out it was only a sprain, but I needed a prescription for some powerful anti-inflammatory meds, the kind you can’t get for $4 at the big box department store. It was expensive stuff.

“I need a loan now,” I said to myself

I was low on cash and payday was over a week away, so I did some Googling and found Personal Money Market. I typed in “need a loan” and managed to find it pretty quickly. They helped get me the money I needed, and I was able to pay it back on a short-term installment schedule. I don’t make a habit of using payday loan services, but they have been a great help when I’ve used them.

They have IM if you have any questions

Oh, and I was so happy with the service that a Personal Money Market representative I IMed asked if I’d like to be part of a future Q & A, customer/employee success story. I said sure. Here’s what the Personal Money Market guy had to say:

My customer strained his arm while he was pitching for a baseball team in Santa Ysabel, California. The medication he needed was very expensive and not covered by his insurance. He was a little apprehensive about applying for a payday loan online, so he contacted me via instant message before applying at PersonalMoneyStore.com. I assured him that once he filled out the online application some basic personal, employment and financial information, he’d receive a response in no time. I checked later to see if he’d been approved and found that he had. Needless to say, he was very happy. I told him I was happy to be of assistance and wished him a speedy recovery.

Success!

What did I tell you? If you need a loan, try Personal Money Market. It worked for me, and I’m already toeing the rubber for my team again.

Hello. My name is Vic, and I play baseball for a living. It’s a great gig that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world, even though I’m not a real person. However, because it’s Minor League Baseball, I’m not going to get rich any time soon. If I make it to the bigs, however, then that will be another story.

I’m writing here on the Web site because this company helped me get my hands on payday loans when I needed them most. I had what you might call an equipment malfunction that had to be taken care of quickly, as I was slated to start at third that night and the whole team was clinging to its supply of bats like there was a maple and ash tree famine. Nobody had a bat to loan me, so I had to figure out a way to replenish my supply without the luxury of having recently been paid.

As it could have happened…

My buddy Frank and I came up from Rookie ball together, shortstop and second base. Last season, when we were in Class-A ball in Spokane, we went hunting the morning before a game, and I bagged a ten point buck. Cries of “beginner’s luck” rose from the peanut gallery, which included not only Frank, but our catcher Sully and Rizzo, a middle reliever. I’d never even fired a rifle before, so I guess I did pretty well.

We finally climbed out of our blind and made it over to the kill, but it still wasn’t dead. Sully leaned in too close, and it jerked like mad, tossing him aside like a sack of light potato chips. I shifted into autopilot, running back to the blind to grab the first thing I could get my hands on: a bat from my game gear bag. As we were all out of ammo, my bat was the only thing to keep my friends from being gored and trampled. As hard as it was, I swung away. Neither buck nor bat survived.

Craaaack!

Of course, that was my last bat. Nobody had a loaner, and I was short on cash until payday. So I had to get cash fast, and carving the buck and peddling the deer meat wasn’t an option. After regaining consciousness, the first words out of Sully’s mouth were “Aaaah!” and “Uuuuuh!” Then he said I should check out this little Web site you’re reading right now. Sully knew I needed money for bats, and payday loans was the quickest way to get fast cash.

I checked this site out and was surprised by how easy it was. I qualified for the payday loans I needed to buy a few new bats (we play in a wood bat league), and had it wired to my bank account before that night’s game. It was as smooth as a 6-4-3 double play!
