The Greencard process involved an expensive Lawyer, and Mike proving that he could ’sponsor’ my Residency. We had to produce tax Returns and paychecks, I had to go for a physical to test for AIDS and Tuberculosis, and then we had a swift interview where we had to prove the validity of our relationship.

While I realized long ago hat JCPenney was a mecca for under-whelming, roughly-made, mass appeal clothes, I do find myself in there from time to time. Whether it’s to get to another part of the mall, or if I am vainly searching for that perfect party dress or cheap sandals, I have the chance to scan the racks.
Usually, the stuff looks like this :
Polyester Profusion
