and an attractive person

I don't think it should be socially acceptable for people to say they are "bad with names." No one is bad with names. That is not a real thing. Not knowing people's names isn't a neurological condition; it's a choice. You choose not to make learning people's names a priority.
[Question:] I'm buying this book for my daughter, whom I'm trying to reconnect with after my acrimonious divorce from her mother. Will this help me seem like a cool, understanding dad?
[Mindy's Answer:] Honestly, I think you should buy her some kind of SUV. That is what all the divorced dads did for their kids in my high school. A Land Rover, something like that. If you don't have that kind of money, I would just suggest reconciling with the mom.
There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.
I looked like the Indian girl who kept them "real."
Like everyone normal, I would never have a bumper sticker, ever. However, if I saw one that read, "Hell is Waiting in Line for Brunch," I might buy a thousand and plaster my car with them.

My time has finally come. I have reached Menteeship status.

standard noogie given to Mentee by Mentor

I now have a Mentor!!

My Mentor says to listen to these.

My Mentor says to watch these.

Check out my Mentor's office.

That's the chair I get to sit in!

Surely, I am on the path to stardom.

Now - why my Mentor is my Mentor:

"Signs you can't give up NYC:
- you still get TimeOut New York weekly...just to see what you are missing....
Ok - it's true - I admit it - but it's only been 10 years..."
-Mentor

"I surf the net and make lists of things I'll have to buy in NY because the shops here are all lame crap.
The smell of rotting garbage in the summer (an urban kid's proust's
madeleine) is the only thing Boston does as well as NYC."
-Mentor

"An overheard conversation from NYC last week...two gay men entering a french restaurant in the Village loudly arguing about a friend in Paris. Finally, one turns to the other and shouts: 'Look, she's not crazy, she's French!'"
-Mentor
