I'm listening to it now knowing it's her, and now I can't get her image out of my mind. But hey, whaddaya gonna do.

I'm familiar w Idina Menzel's voice, and I unexpectedly went into this movie, knowing almost nothing about it and nothing about the cast. I didn't realize it was her. In fact after the movie one of the kids in our party tried to tell me that Elsa was Idina Menzel but she pronounced it wrong and I wasn't fully…

Sincere, well put, and well thought out. Brava.

She legally changed her name to Beautiful Existence.

BEAR little resemblance. not BARE little resemblance. oops.

I realize it's somewhat irrational and I should have phrased it differently. It just felt so over the top to put "All I want for Christmas is You" TEN TIMES without warning, right after the song had made me cry. It is insensitive but only in the *completely normal way* - in that most of us aren't attuned to the fact…

Remember that your facebook feed may bare little resemblance to someone else's facebook feed. If that's all you're seeing on facebook it's because that's what your particular fb friends are posting.

Sorry if I was unclear. I meant that *even though* I am Jewish (and therefore Christmas holds far less sway for me), hearing this song is brutal if you're someone for whom the sentiment behind the title "all I want for Christmas is you" hits too close to home. It's not *because* I'm Jewish, it's despite the fact…

I can't tell if this is a genuine question, but just in case - when babies are born, the uterus is contracting like hell, over and over, for hours. Like maybe 24 hours or so. It's not like something smaller could just be pushed out by the strength of the vagina alone.

flip phone?

yes, yes a THOUSAND TIMES yes. that the act of true love was the love between SISTERS - that in fact she didn't need Hans OR Kristoff to save her - that in fact she and her sister saved themselves and each other.... omg. When that shit happened I was over the moon.

I had the exact same annoyance. Saw your comment, clicked the first few seconds of each, get the joke. Now that I get the joke I'm even more annoyed.

And I'm especially sorry that you had to deal with that shit from your own family. A shonda! (Seriously).

Thank you so much for the explanation.

I am really sorry that that is your experience. Truly. That is just horrible and wrong. As I said, I was not claiming to be sure that there aren't some sects who act that way, and I'm sorry to read that you've dealt with such shittiness.

I don't think so. I think he's saying LaSonia could be a name (in an African American neighborhood), whereas if she's in an Italian restaurant and trying to spell lasagna, she's doing it wrong.

ps - for sake of clarity re my previous comment, I am (hopefully obviously) not saying that there are no people who would be considered Jewish by Reform standards but not by Orthodox standards (for example Reform Judaism recognizes patrilineal descent, Orthodox do not; non-Orthodox conversions are not recognized by…

"Of course the orthodox dismiss all these types as false Jews"
No, this statement is false. Orthodox Jews in general absolutely would not consider someone a "false Jew" because they don't keep kosher etc. (I am willing to acknowledge that I'm not know-it-all enough to state with certainty that there are not some…

This was awesome.

Ug! My original comment wasn't viewable before. Sorry for all my redundancy.
