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.”

Bundle up is right. I have nothing with which to fight the cold unless I dress in layers.
Actually, I might be better to just stay home and clean house. I have some feathery insulation to be sucked up and a few birdseed husks. The Stig is not known for his neatness!!

More rain. Looks like the teens will all go to the movies later this afternoon.
Plumber is finished. We theorized that the culprit could have been a cardboard toilet paper roll. Sigh.
Uh oh I always thought it was verse verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus chorus! ;)
(got it on the brain, going to do some recording tonight)
This one was a drive by abduction.
We pulled the van up, popped open the side doorr, grabbed the newspaper dispenser, drove forward for a couple feet, ejected the newspaper dispenser, and then grabbed him as the plan had originally been.
Then we grabbed the newspaper dispenser again just to make sure there were no witnesses.
Somewhere in there we also dosed a mime with my coffee.
We have no idea where he ran off to.

Welcome, Buckeye. With your permission, I will add you to my own ping list. Not all three are the same, but I usually give a mid-month ping, just in case.
Ha! That works too. Have fun recording.
I’ll be right back, heading away from the electronic communication portal thingy here for a bit.
Hey, all y’all! Welcome BuckeyeTexan to the Undead Thread!
Maybe we can get him to do a little dance, sing a little song....;o]
Permission granted, of course!
Too late! You’ve been mooned! Ethel....!!!

(Sorry...the dwarves seem to be having a party with the zombies in the Com Unit. Darks? DC? Bob? Can any of you fix this?)
Aw, shucks. (*Kicks ground with toe of boot and grins.*)
The stars at night
Are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas!
The prairie sky
Is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas!
Sage in bloom
Is like perfume
Deep in the heart of Texas!
Reminds me of
The one I love
Deep in the heart of Texas!
The cowboys cry
Ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of Texas!
The rabbits rush
Around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas!
The coyotes wail
Along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas!
The doggies bawl
And bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of texas!
(*Tips hat and bows.*)
Considering I can’t dance or sing -trails off-
Y’know? When I lived in Del Rio, I would step out my back door on those starry nights and sing that very song...
Shall we do a duet?...
BUT! You delight us with yer typsos, Darks! Who could ask for more?
