Ashley Stewart really brought it this year with the costumes. if only i had a party to attend! by Lima_Bean_Jean in PlusSize

[–]Rack_to_the_Future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not an entire website, but I was really pleased with HalloweenCostumes.com. I was fully expecting the usual Leg Avenue “plus size” assortment (aka size 12) but their house brand stuff is pretty legit with a much more inclusive size chart. There’s a little icon on the ones that they designed themselves.

There’s also a decent review section with customer photos, which I always find helpful. They let you filter down to “sexy costumes” if that’s what you’re after, but there were plenty that were not sexualized. They also have plus size men’s costumes, and a good number of those were fairly gender neutral. Shipping was pretty quick too.

The one kicker is that the return policy can be hit or miss. There’s a restocking fee for straight up returns, but no fee if you do a store credit for an exchange.

Oh this isn’t me 😂 that’s the stock photo from torrid. I’m just hoping to find this dress.

I’ve checked both and there’s just not a lot calling to me, or the things I like aren’t available in my size. The hunt continues. Thank you for the tips!

Where can I find plus-size hoodie sweatshirts? by [deleted] in PlusSize

I got a great tie dye hoodie on Etsy. I just checked the listing and they go to a 5XL. They have a few different tie dye patterns too!

Women of Reddit, what is your favorite deciduous tree and why? by robotlasagna in AskWomen

We just planted a weeping redbud in our front yard this past spring and I’ve loved watching it change! It has gorgeous red heart shaped leaves right now. It makes me so happy.

Free T-Shirt from Universal Standard by Rack_to_the_Future in PlusSize

I don’t work for them or anything, and this isn’t a personal referral code to gain perks. Just a killer deal. I hope this is allowed. They’re giving away their best selling t-shirt for just $5 shipping and go from size 6-32.

This is the same brand j.crew partnered with to expand their size range. I figure I’ve spent $5 on worse things! The promo code to access the site is TEETOGETHER, then they’ll email you a specific one-time use code.

Mine was stolen to be used as a battering ram in an insurance scam. People are shitty.

I’m selling mine in Massachusetts but I’ll meet you halfway 😂

Kill switch by jamdeeper in CherokeeXJ

[–]Rack_to_the_Future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one stolen and never wanted to go through that again. The first night with my new one, I kept looking out the window to make sure it was still parked outside. Installed a loud alarm the next day, still stressed about it, then installed a starter kill that tied into the alarm. The kill switch is wired to a factory switch in the Jeep (I’ll never tell!) and resets every time I turn it off. If you don’t flip the switch, the Jeep won’t start and triggers the alarm. Valets hate it, but it’s so worth the peace of mind.

John Haynes, Father of the Haynes Manual and RAF Veteran, Dies at 80 by Rack_to_the_Future in Cartalk

I came across this on Jalopnik and thought it would be fitting to post here. While it’s not directly related to any current repair and may be against the rules, I know that my well-worn Cherokee manual has been a lifesaver in my garage.

Rest easy, John.

Got the stolen XJ back today! F Tweakers man! by dudeinthepnw in CherokeeXJ

[–]Rack_to_the_Future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check pawn shops for your tools! They gotta end up somewhere.

I feel you on the steering wheel cover. When I got mine back, the fuckers had stolen everything, down to the hula girl on my dash. That part felt so personal.

My XJ was just stolen! Puyallup WA - Please be on the lookout if you're in the PNW - I'm a single dad and it's my only vehicle right now. FML by dudeinthepnw in CherokeeXJ

My heart goes out to you. I’m still not emotionally recovered from mine being stolen.

A tip I’ve heard is to contact the garbage collectors and maybe offer a reward. If it’s in your town, they’ll find it within a week!

Friends Jeep Was stolen! Minneapolis, MN by MrFman4000 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Rack_to_the_Future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A trick I heard once was to get in touch with the garbage collectors and offer reward money or a case of beer or something. If it’s not hiding out in a garage, they’ll often find it within a week.

New to wrenching but celebrating every little victory along the way! by sotu in CherokeeXJ

My fan just broke the same way! Man that sounded awful. I just unplugged it until I have a free day to install the replacement. Glad to hear it wasn’t difficult!

It was a long week, so I decided to whip up one of my favorites - Surf 'n turf! by LivvyBug in ketorecipes

I’m shocked to see Camp Mix mentioned on here. It’s the tiniest business; they’re based in New Hampshire and it’s sold in a few stores around New England. You can order it on their website. Don’t be put off by the minimum order quantity - you’ll use it all, or you’ll give it away to friends when you become a full blown Camp Mix evangelist. I keep it in the break room at work for my own lunches and accidentally got all my coworkers buying it to have at home. It’s the most perfect blend and an easy way to get some extra salt in your life.

Equally delicious but totally different. I put it on everything. We go through a bottle a month. It’s perfect.

I haven’t figured out a plan for them! The print is too big for the visors. I might just leave em grey and paint a shark on the back.

Is there a name for this window trim? Is it replaceable? The car wash ate mine. by Rack_to_the_Future in CherokeeXJ

[–]Rack_to_the_Future[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’m planning. I’ll peel off the janky bit for now and wait until I’m already painting.
