NY Woman Uses Dating Site to Get Over $1200 In Free Meals
YouBentMyWookie.com ^ | November 30th, 2011

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.”

“Death was administered by sharpened carrot!”

I’ve been busy with rejoining the military, work, and trying to get various tasks done before heading to AIT to reclass from artillery to communications.
Still don’t know when I’m heading off to training.
But, when I do, we have three people setup to step in and run the thread moves and such.

Down to blunt carrot nubbins at this point. And yet the hordes continue to mass.

Kewl. USAF?

Army.
I was a 13B10 light towed artilleryman when I was in before.
This time I went with Commo.
Computer network stuff.
It’s only taking half of forever to actually be sent for the training.

Initially I was supposed to head out in August, then September, then October.

Now they’re saying “sometime 2012.”
Since I’m prior service, they can do that, no hurry ot get me out and back.
I can actually “small possibility” deploy with my unit as I am without being classed as a 25B, I just won’t be doing much beyond perimeter watch.
[Supposedly we’re heading out in November 2012 to Afghanistan. But with the North Korean ‘leader’ Kim Jong Il kicking it, the peninsula just may overturn in fire soon.]

Heading out for the night.
See everyone on the flipside.

“Now they’re saying “sometime 2012.”

Not all that surprising. With the lack of consensus on a budget, the Army doesn’t know when or if it has the money. This is what 2 years without a budget does.

Yeah, I’ll see if there are any hordes that need repelling on the political threads and get some beauty sleep. Lord knows I need it.

“I understand. But it could be worse; I think I’m allergic to stupidity.

How do I get away from that?”

Stop interacting with humans...? /s

It's good advice, but the robots can give you trouble too.

Yep. It’s the only way I could explain it...
Driving that car was an experience all its own. ;o])

Odds are that if they do deploy and I haven’t been reclassed, they’ll leave me back stateside as rear guard detachment.
That would be “most likely scenario” in that event.

You are added!
May Klawwix the floating eye and Xagthrath the grumbling rug have mercy upon us all!

Usually we prefer to invade a fresh zot thread and humiliate the thread poster, as well as turn teh thread to our purposes.

This month we are laughing about dating misadventures in New York.

Dating in New York is funny, in a way, but it’s sad, too. When DP and I were dating, we were both broke. A common date was “come over to my apartment for Ramen.”

In New York, it is wise to carry pepper spray while out on the date.
Not becuase you might get mugged, but because your date just might be that crazy.

I’ve been debating whether to go to the PO this morning or not. I’m a little antsy, for some reason, and feel the need to walk off the anxiety. *sigh*

Bundle up if you go! It’s 62 and occasionally raining here. It rained all last night. I heard Shannon about 1:30 a.m. and went to see if she was outside, but it turned out she was sitting in the pantry nagging for food. They’re all grumpy today because of no sunbeams. Maybe we’ll go to the library later: I’m done all my books from Saturday already.

The forecast is for temperatures in the 50s and 60s through the end of December. Not exactly Christmas-y, but on the other hand, it keeps the gas bill reasonable

Awesome. Now what? Do I have to be hazed by submitting poetry or a short story or something?

LOL.
Not unless you actually write something and want to throw it out there.
Kinda like, “Okay short story, it’s time to learn to swim.” *Splash glub glub glub*
The bubbles get judged according to patterns, it’s really rough.
The most I received on the scoring was a 3, the Romanian judge was feeling generous due to having bought a new razor.
/ bad joke.

Basically we are a mobile chat thread interspersed with humor, poetry, short stories, and reports from around the country.
Oh, and my legendary typos.
