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.”

We are so happy that she has found a job.
I can’t listen to Carols...I cry too much! LOL!
I, too, am happy when someone finds a job! Hug your niece for me the next time you see her! My son has just started work from a “lay-off” in September, so I am familiar with employment tweaks..
*hug*
And the pastor then teleFRAGGED the pue under the sleeping backside of the chainsaw snoring lout..
And Frank crashed an airplane on his head.
“We’re under air attack!”
That’ll teach ‘em to fall asleep around byos.
M'kay.
It has to do with Bob’s giving a sermon, but I think that would be interesting ... different from the usual thing, at least.
How are things in Canada today?
Yout: "Amen! Wait.... Pastor that wasn't fair!"
Bob’s sermon would probably be delivered in poetry.
My part of Canada is expecting about a foot of snow tonight. I’ll get to test out my new snow tires in the morning. I’ve never had snow tires before. (They are called “winter tires” now.)
LOL, that’s mean.
Only when I recite a quotation.
Maybe something like this:
LOL!
Garden Gnome?
“Wearing a turbin made of tree bark and a belt twisted from a vine, he screamed many blasphemies and curses at the unresponsive lawn gnome.”
No, I’m not going to make that any larger.
There’s no point in yelling at the gnome.
My lawn gnome is inebriated anyway.
The only thing he’s there for is to be a bump stop for SWAT vehicles.
/ bad joke.

You’ll feel a little tired and run down, today. Just a hunch, but that could explain those tire tracks on your shirt, as well...
I dunno what it is with these secretive government agencies and running down my lawn gnome. They practice in my yard all the time. Never ends. I’m out in the yard and hear “whop whop whop whop whop”.. Naturally I look at my shoes to make sure I didn’t step on anything before looking around.
A voice yells at me to ‘get down with my hands up’.
Complete nonsense, so I ask “what?!”
Finally I notice the huge helicopter hovering over my pool.
Guy must’ve been looking for somewhere to go fishing or something.
He was gesticulating wildly and waving his arms frantically.
I knew what was coming next, and sure enough, an urban assault vehicle comes tearing up into my yard and thumps down my lawn gnome.
Just like last week.
I walked past a vehicle parked out in front of my house.
Guy inside it says, “He’s home.”
I ignored the ninjas jumping out my windows, they’re always ninjas jumping out my windows for some reason, and wandered up to my front door.
As I was unlocking the door, a pest control vehicle marked ‘S.W.A.T.’ drives across the grass and runs down my lawn gnome.
I barely had time to get the door open to escape those vicious psychotic lawn gnome murdering pest control guys.
And today, today my lawn gnome was run down by bicycle cops.
I’m gettin’ tired of burying my lawn gnomes.
They’re getting tired of it too and are now complaining.
REanimated zombie garden gnomes, film at 11:00 ...
And in other news, the Offspring have broken another toilet. Martyred sigh. At least this one can be repaired by our stalwart DIY crew, instead of requiring a professional plumber.
The Epic Fail lawn service is branching out into plumbing?
This will be amusing.
Yes. He replaced some gizmos a couple of months ago, and it turned out okay, after adjustments. Also replaces doorknobs, which reminds me that we need a new one on the coat/shoe closet.
My only excursion today was to the mailbox, but tomorrow I needed to go out, anyway, so we’ll add a trip to the hardware store.
Off to put my feet up - everyone have a safe night!
