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.”
-snip-
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.”

Only if you cook them in bacon.
Yep. That looks zenified to me, alright! LOL!
Part of my problem yesterday was food poisoning. I’m still trying to figure out what I ate, but I suspect my meals today will be rather light.
It was 31 here night before last, and 33 this morning, so far. Overcast both days, rain tomorrow and Tuesday. Ungh...
At least you know what caused it!
Some of our personnel are just getting up this morning, and others have not yet emerged from their burrows. (That would be Tom.) Anoreth is sharing meals with Ash!
I did an experiment this morning to see whether anyone approaching adult age would get up in the morning, if I didn’t. The outcome was, no, they won’t.
Sounds like a lot of executives I have known.
She obviously showed herself to be 'executive material' early in her career.
I never had that touble with my kids. They each had alarm clocks (10th birthdays) and were responsible for setting them. It got so neither of them would sleep in, even on weekends. Lablady was afraid she would miss something important, and Hockeybug had too many things to do, even if one of them was reading.
Hopefully today, I will finish the last of the beret (like the orange one) and get the package ready to go out tomorrow. Lingo Lover (Hockeybug’s wife) asked for a long, skinny neckscarf, but having finished that, I had yarn lefo over, so I’m making a beret to go with it.
(That’s two more skiens I don’t have to store! LOL!!!)
I have a felt/sequin wreath kit that I need to put together, but it will wait. Also, a couple of Christmas stockings and a tree skirt. How fun is that? *snort*
I also found enough yarn to make a “bundle wreath” but had to beg for a wire coat hanger. I have to find a red bow, now...
Successful choir performance today. Now I’m going to get more food.
The Zen of the Cat.
Unfortunately, it was written in paw prints on parchment, so we cannot know what it says.
Okay, idea time.
Sci Fi theme:
What happens when you teleFRAG a hyperspace exit portal as it forms?
What becomes of the object in transit?
You CAN know if you can interpret purrs, meors and “WHATS?”
After yestiddy, I’m not sure I want to eat anything. I would settle for some Restorative if I could. (My dream house would have a Restorative Cellar!)
At any rate, I am going to bed very soon. The Restorative will have to wait a day or two.
In the meantime. God Bless you and your family!
It turns into a pumpkin.
We had Chinese takeout. I got back from Walmart too late to enact the previously-planned meal. We’ll have it on Tuesday instead. Bill and Tom have gone to youth group, remaining byos have gone to bed. Catz is out, I think. They don’t care that it’s cold.
I just stopped by here to email OldTax-lady, and now I’m off to the recliner. Loooong day! I hope you’re much better tomorrow!
I semi- got it ;-).
You might end up with an endlessly repeating cycle of puree.
How soon they forget.
An object in transit, when the transit means are interrupted, will be interrupted in transit.
The analogy is what happened to you during your ill-fated Fax Maxhine journey. Boy, were you hopping over that one!
Anyway, since the teleFRAG does fragmentation on a sub-atomic level, that portion of the object that has transported will join in the subsequent mayhem.
The portion that has not yet been transported will remain behind, divided according to the scanning sequence.
The division in "Thirteen Ghosts" comes to mind, which is similar to the fate of Kowalski on StarGate SG-1.
Equally possible is the vertical scanning sequence as displayed in "Spaceballs".
In any case, it is not healthy for the object. It is also not healthy for the hyperspace exit portal.
So, I was inadvertantly correct ... pie?
Not inadvertently correct; semi-correct.
Part pie, part crater. Darksheare’s teleFRAG is a badly-designed teleportation system turned military weaponry.
All incredibly fast transportation systems have tremendous destructive potential.
Oh, a pureedback loop.
The teleFRAG is more or less a failed teleporter.
It does teleport the object from point a to point b, problem with it is that the matter in transit is sent out as all possible states of that matter.
Including antimatter.
So when it appears at the other end, it instantly blows the heck up.
It is also a very dirty matter antimatter reaction.
Would be impressive in a planetary atmosphere no doubt, fluorescing the atmospheric gases etc.
