I am buying new jackets for my Daughter. She solely wants the comfrt zip hoodies but I have never purchased these before. Does anyone have experience with the sizing compared to the regular hoodies? Adult Medium still fits her well in the normal hoodies and matching sweatpants. She’s tall with long arms and legs. I’m just a little hesitant on purchasing the zip before researching further beyond reviews on the website. Any relevant experiences would greatly help. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I 36F, have a few questions for this group. I’m trying to see how common these things are that I have experienced recently, Thanks.

1. If you have had environmental allergy testing performed how many of you received nearly all positive results? Mine was 42/43 positive with all but 8 being severe 3/4 with the most common 4’s. My allergist says that I’m allergic to nature but live in the woods, go figure. I just can’t imagine how this is possible especially when I’ve grown up in rural mountainous areas.

2. How many of you don’t have skin symptoms such as hives or wheals or rashes?

3. How many of you don’t have outward edema/swelling but have internal edema/swelling and constriction causing stridor a long with systemic anaphylaxis? The only outward edema/swelling that I had was my bottom lip slightly.

4. Has anyone else had severe allergic reactions to Spirulina especially after chewing the new 2026 Orbit gum formulations?

5. How many of you were misdiagnosed with Globus Syndrome and it led to serious systemic consequences of not receiving IM epinephrine but only racemic nebulized epinephrine?

I’m trying to make sense out of the last few months of my life and what my allergist has told me.

Hi all,

I have a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that the transmission went out in yesterday. We bought it new and are out of the powertrain warranty period because of mileage. We’ve had a few small issues like spark plugs, coils and cylinders that have needed replaced a couple of times and we just replaced our radiator and components as well as put new tires and Bosch windshield wipers on. We are at 129,400 and the transmission went out with no warning yesterday while I was driving. My only logical choices are to spend $6,982 to let the dealership replace the transmission and components and warranty it for 3 years/100k miles or to trade it in and no dealership so far has offered us more than $1k in trade in because of the transmission. We owe $5k on the jeep. I’ve read all of the complaints on the NHTSA site and I’m weary about putting $7k into it and then something else breakdown in it quickly like the electrical system or any of the other knuckle and wheel issues that I’ve seen listed. I work once weekly in Atlanta which is 2 hours and 40 min away and then at least 20 minutes in each direction of where I live for my normal job. Is it worth fixing for the warranty and to keep it or should we just trade it in and cut our losses?
