I admit I'm a bit confused. How do you get a loan offer when you have not applied for one nor have steady income? I haven't ever heard of such a thing that was not some sort of scam. Is it from a reputable bank? Have you sat and spoke with someone in person about this offer?
Much like a credit card, it's solicited. I know it's not the best option to take, but I'm really in a bind without my car. I can't even look for work without it (not like I've had any luck with that anyways). So, if I take out a loan to fix, which is seemingly likely because I haven't been able to find any other sources, I'm going to take out enough to get it fixed and go so that I can actually make full days of applying for jobs rather than spending one afternoon a week searching for new postings and digging through the ones I already didn't get.
I'll probably even have access to more resources for finding work given my bad knee and having Asperger's. I have "help" here, but it's very limited and more geared for those who dropped out of high school and/or have criminal records and tend to be in-and-out of jail. I get all the basic eye contact and handshakes the stuff they have goes over, but they haven't really done anything in terms of helping my actual interview skills or how to charm an interviewer and put on an air of pleasantness and warmth. And how exactly to make small talk with them, before, during, and after the interview.

Unsolicited loan offers aren't a real offer.
It's a fishing expedition.
And many are fraudulent.
I followed up on one once....sure enuf, at the last minute, they changed the terms from great to terrible.
They figure many wouldn't notice.
But I'm a professional borrower.

That's what I was thinking. It's why I said I haven't heard of such a thing that wasn't a scam. I would chuck such an "offer" into the round file along with other junk mail. I don't think @Shadow Wolf should go that route. It's bound to make matters worse, not better. JMO, take it for what it is worth. :shrug:

My dad got a probably mid/late (closer to late) 90s Grand Am from his niece. She wrecked it. The only things wrong is it needs a new headlamp assembly put in, which is actually in trunk, and a new motor mount, which is cheap or not too expensive. But damn, it's gonna be rough because the engine has to be dropped. But, if I fix it, I can drive it. I'm probably going to have my friend's brother help me with it, and probably run a part of his route a few times.

I know it's bad, but I'm also getting no where here.

I'm so tired of caughing mucus out of my lungs, and feeling like my lungs are being constricted. At least my head has cleared up, and there's been no more blood or green chunky mucus.

You need what I had for breakfast......
Homemade chicken soup with dofu & fanzi.
Or you could eat a hiker who just eat some.

Interesting....... Homemade chicken soup with bean curd & a Rotating fist.......:D

I good Chinese Breakfast might have helped...but then it was the Chinese that got me into this mood in the first place.

Weird......I don't know exactly how to spell the name I always heard for those really skinny transparent noodles.
So we've been rotating fists all these decades, eh?

I like Fen Si, and Tofu...and Chicken soup...so now...I'm jealous...I had a bagel with egg white...could have had a baozi....but noooooooo someone else ate it... but that is not what made me ornery

The idiot tire pressure light went off again the other day. Today I think I figured out which tire has a problem.

I say that, and wake up to a tissue filled with green chunks dosed with a tint of red.
