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.”

Part pie, part crater. What a way to go.
Tomorrow’s date, the thirteenth of December, will be 13/12/11.
Anybody still think we’re not counting down to disaster?
Anything interesting happen on 10/9/87?
If she’s paying $1500/mo rent and living in Manhattan, she has a roommate. A basic 1-BR will fetch @ $2500/mo plus utilities. Make it a NICE 1-BR and you’re over $3K/mo. And it only goes up from there.
Yes, at precisely 6:43 and twenty-one seconds in the A.M. in the entire State of California, not one person was awakened by an earthquake.
Some may think this is mere coincidence, but I find it unmistakably apocalyptic in its portent.
Well, I messed that up.
Can’t even count at this hour.
Wait, wait!
I can fix it. Let me start over ...
Two polar bears and an eskimo walk into a bar ...
You would have thought that the eskimo would have ducked.
I was wondering how that might work out.
LOL!
Computer problems here resulting in kitteh delay. Sorry!
I’ve been going through that for almmost four days, now.
There is a package coming for the TC Children. Small, but hopefully enjoyable. It should be there by Friday, but not to be opened until the 24th, because the gizlichi inside is not wrapped.
*sigh*
I walked in the fog and cold angain this AM and got soaked to the skin. Almost as if it had been raining.
Just foggy and damp. Yes, we get fog. We live by a big lake, remember... I don’t have “wet” winter clothes...only “dry” ones.
Anyway, I’m here. My knees hate me, though. Psoriatic arthritis is nasty.
Hey! “333” was my employee ID number at Signetics, “333” was also my number for the Ladies Auxiliary at the VFW Club! YAY, ME! Post #333 is a GOOD thing! LOL!
Okay, will not unwrap! 58 and sunny here, with highs in the 60s forecast for the next couple of days. Epic Fail Lawn Service will need to mow!
I need to sew another patch on a Scout uniform, and then it will be time to drive Elen to her “Rocks and Minerals” study.
I have one more package to send out, but it is more a birthday/Christmas than straight Christmas, so there is no rush...as long as it gets there by the 23rd! LOL!
The weather prognosticator says “rain and fog” for the next two days. The Stig hates it. When I got back (three hours after I left) he refused to speak to me, and is currently studiously avoiding any overtures on my part to stimulate interaction.
I gave him his lettuce before I left, so maybe that was my mistake...he had nothing to look forward to! LOL!
My project for this month was to weed out some of the paperwork I have saved, but it seems when i feel up to it, there are other things that require my attention. I just know there is NOT enough room in here for all of it.
Hockeybug had his first day on the job yesterday, and I’m curious to know how he liked it. So far, I’m sure it’s just orientation, and I suspect he’s anxious to get his hands busy again, but he will call this weekend to fill me in. I am SOOO glad he is employed once more!!!
He hates being unemployed, and has found ways to bring in money, even if it’s in “daily pay” temporary jobs. Not bad for a kid with ADD...
Pleased to know he’s working again!
Frank’s having a snit and upsetting the catz. I guess I’ll go change his diaper, and then he can go with me to get the girls at wherever they’re at.
Silly Frank! He’s out-numbered!
I’m off to bed, now. See you tomorrow!
I came. I saw.
I concurred.
