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 sediments exactly!
A cat on every electronicable device couldn’t make the dumb things work any worse.
Every time I see this post, and your follow-up, it makes me smile. And not much else is doing that right now.
Thank you for your auto-correct issues ;-).
Ohyah! But I’m good at reminding myself that there is such a thing as “operator error,” and that makes me ask who has been operating on this “thing?”

Lol..
Howdy how you all been? Happy hump day.
Cold, damp, crabby and fine!
How are you? I hope you’re having good days, now. ;o]
*Shuffle.. snuffle.. graaaah... brains!*
*sip coffee*
Ah, here I am!
Warm here, but no sunbeamss, so the pets are pouty.
Tom wants to go buy helium. I guess we should ... and let him drive while traffic is light.
Tell Tom that building a homemade helium argon laser is much harder than it looks.
And I'll remind everyone that it may be called "helium", but it isn't deductible on your medical savings plan.
Cheated death again! Tom drove us to Party City in the county seat and got his giant shark balloon filled with helium while I bought crickets at the adjoining Petsmart for our reptilian family members. Then he took us to “Taqueria La Unica!” to get gift certificates for my Mexican choir ladies, so they can make their husbands take them out to dinner.
On the “Merry Christmas” front, someone from church called me today and said her family, including in-laws I’ve never met, wanted to get us all Christmas presents! I sat down on a rock in the woods (I was walking Ash when she called) and cried! Now I’m trying to get Bill to come up with anything he wants that doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars ... in a pinch, there’s always iTunes cards, but that’s so impersonal.
About 5 weeks to baby, for those who have missed updates, and everything is going fine, in an old-and-tired sorta way.
Doesn't that put this one about Vlad's birthday?
Anyway, you'll soon be trading that "old-and-tired" for "the new hotness" again.
I guar-run-tee it!
Sounds like a fun day.
Frank does not like the remote-controlled inflatable shark. Sigh. I hope he won’t be wailing that it’s coming to get him in his bed, like Pat with the toaster at the same age.
James’s birthday (8) is January 19 and Vlad’s (6) is January 30. I hope to have Baby Whosis before either of those dates.
The chair, it eats remotes and things.
