A New York woman is being scrutinized and praised after people learned that she used a dating website to obtain $1,200 a month in free meals.
According to Business Insider, 23-year-old Jessica Sporty was deep in debt. Sporty had difficulties living on her $45,000 annual salary after spending nearly $1,500 a month in rent, paying her credit card bill, and buying food.
So she hatched up a plan and signed up with the popular online dating site Match.com so she could quickly go on five dates a week. Sporty even maintained a spreadsheet with detailed information on each of her dates, limiting each guy to a maximum of five.
Dates took Sporty to high-end New York restaurants, and one of her dates even bought her a $200 bottle of champagne.
“Before I barely had enough money to pay for food,” said Sporty. “After using Match.com I found I wasn’t going into debt anymore.”

As of today, Sporty is no longer on the dating website as she is currently in a relationship and most likely freeloading off her new beau.
“It was exhausting,” she said. “I needed my sleep and I was done playing the game.”

My goodness! Those kids have grown! I was just there! How could they do that?
They eat a lot. I have to go to Walmart again today: Bill and Tom wiped out the food supplies while I was lying down yesterday afternoon. I wish Bill would get a job!
Yep. Jobs are good for big boys.
My sister is coming this morning, and will take me “someplace” with her while she shops. She’s like the Energizer Bunneh...no one can keep up with her, even her daughters!
Good luck! I’ll let Tom drive us to the vet’s later, to get the catz their flea drops. It’s a nice sunny day, supposed to be in the 50s later. Shannon wants me to arrange a sunbeam here at the back (north) of the house, but it’s not going to work until late afternoon, if at all.
That reminds me, I need to get cat food at Walmart, too!
LOL!
I like. Any resolutions?
Mine:
1. Gain weight.
2. Start smoking.
3. Get the bees going. Bzzzzzzzz.
4. Spend more time on the UT.
5. Stay off the political threads and avoid the zot.
6. Find out what that strange creature is that is lurking around the UT. Kinda looks like a zombie. Hmmm...OMIGOD!! THE DEAD WALK THE EARTH!!! THE DEAD WALK THE EARTH!!! GET IT OFFF!! GET IT OFFFFFFF!!!!
(thud...gurgle)
I’ve resolved to have a baby. (Easy plan since it’s due in a couple of weeks ;-). After that, I’ll sit around in my bathrobe a lot.
Ash (the greyhound) just got up, discovered that Anoreth left for New Jersey and Der Prinz has gone to work, and went back to her crate. Petz sure have an easy life!
Howdy, raining......yes rain not type of weather we usually have this time of the year. Yet no snow blowing with rain!!!
Face how is stig?
Fred has about 10 other dogs to play with this week. Funny most are labs. Just him and one other are not.
Buddy the lab that used to play with Tasha came to the door a day or two ago looking for Tasha. Animals are something else!
Supposedly 44 and sunny here.
It’s more like 37 and sorta sunny.
My sister’s cat Shadow would constantly look for my one cat Mimi after she died.
Since Shadow died, NiMH constantly looks for Shadow.
“I’ve resolved to have a baby. (Easy plan since it’s due in a couple of weeks ;-). After that, I’ll sit around in my bathrobe a lot.”
Congrats! I think I’d rather go on a diet than go through that. Petz with good homes do live the life of reilly.
Don't worry, while not exactly friendly it only eats trolls and it won't bite, just gum you a bit.
:hands RKBA a industrial sized wet-wipe:
You probably should carry some Vegemite covered twizzlers to distract him with next time.
I thought the Thing liked old potato casserole.
The disk with Bill’s English course on it is missing. I suspect foul play.
“Oh I see you met “The Thing That Lives Behind The Refrigerator”.
Yeah, I did. Does this thing have it’s shots?
What an obnoxious creature. I think it believes I’m a troll, so it keeps on hanging around as I type. That’d be OK, but it sticks a slimy tentacle in my ear every now and then. And it keeps on belching those awful burps. Makes a sewage treatment plant smell good by comparison.
Thanks for the wipe, I better order a box.
“I thought the Thing liked old potato casserole.”
Don’t have any potato casserole. But I do have some overaged pasta e fagioli that it might like. It’s got some mold on it. And it does seem to like soiled kleenex.
OK. So the thing ate the pasta. What do I do now? I don’t suppose it has a name? I DID notice that it likes listening to Johnny Cash....”Ring of Fire.” No accounting for taste I guess. It sort of purred along. Or maybe that was flatulence?
The thing does need a name. How ‘bout “Vishnu, the destroyer of worlds?” Naaah. That’s been used. Beelzebub? Naaah.
Oh criminy! The thing isn’t housebroken. Great. Just great.....
Let's see, Anthrax, Cervical Cancer (we aren't sure if it is male or female), Diphtheria, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Human Papillomavirus , H1N1 Flu , Influenza, Japanese Encephalitis (JE), Lyme Disease, Measles, Meningococcal, Monkeypox, Mumps, Pertussis, Pneumococcal, Poliomyelitis, Rabies, Rotavirus, Rubella, Shingles, Smallpox, Tetanus, Tuberculosis, Typhoid Fever, Varicella, Yellow Fever, Parvovirus, Distemper, Bordetella, Feline leukemia, Panleukopenia, Dryditch Fever, Krytos and Malignalitaloptereosis.
That is all so far.
We do a lot of traveling.
Yeah, it uses the litter box but the "whooshing" noise of the toilet scares it and it tends to ... leak a bit when it gets upset.
