The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For…

Okay, so maybe not.
BUT
It is time for the first ever recipient inducted into the Misfit Hall of Fame!
(Cue applause, whistles, snorts, etc…)
I actually came across Sweet on Geeks shortly after the ex dumped me. I think I saw them on one of the morning news shows. At any rate, because I was so determined not to fall into my usual pattern of spending far too much time feeling sorry for myself, I went to check it out. There’s a two-week trial period, then a $5 / month membership fee. And it’s filled with people who are very different than the ones you’d find on the “big-name” dating sites. I used to always feel bad about myself whenever I signed up for the others (I haven’t tried all, so take that for what it’s worth) - not only are they expensive, they’re full of people I generally don’t surround myself with, and I very rarely ever received anything that could remotely be considered a return on my investment. I signed up for Sweet on Geeks and in the first couple of weeks the emails started coming in.
In the spirit of fairness, I ended up canceling my account, mostly because I was in such a financial bind that I couldn’t rationalize even spending $5 / month that wasn’t absolutely necessary. But all of my interaction with the staff at Sweet on Geeks was wonderful - their customer service was impeccable - everyone was friendly and was ready and able to assist me as needed. I do plan on signing back up once I get my finances under control.
So, go check them out and tell them I sent you. (Though don’t be surprised if you discover they have no idea who I am…) 
Edit. I just discovered the Sweet on Geeks has merchandise up on Cafe Press. Visit their store here.
