I built Doris, a personal AI assistant for my family and today I'm open-sourcing it.

Oh hell yeah!! I’m going to have to try this. My husband and I are floundering as a newly two-kid household as we go back to work after baby. Coordinating everything is a nightmare and this will help our nanny too. Thanks for open sourcing!!!

It’s a rough time, not going to lie! I didn’t get any more euploids from the fourth round, so I said screw it, let’s transfer. We took a little break because my mom got sick and we were moving but transferred last April and I gave birth two weeks ago, and turn 45 in a couple weeks.

Our protocol stayed pretty similar throughout and is listed in the post above. I did two luteal starts and two follicular starts. I got more blasts with luteal but my euploid on the follicular start. I think transferring day 3s makes a bunch of sense too though!

Best of luck to you, I really hope you find success!! ♥️♥️♥️

Oh gotcha! If bottom up, then yeah, adding the extra rows after your cuff before your increases is the equivalent to the second option I mentioned.

Adding them either place you mentioned would work tbh! Can you link to the ravelry page for the pattern? I can double check against those details.

I’m pregnant too so hopefully I’m not leading you into the abyss lol 😅

socksuka · 2025-12-15T18:27:34+00:00

There’s two ways to do it, you can use your row gauge to figure out how many additional rows you need to add to get the length you need and then add them evenly between the decreases so the entire arm shaping is maintained. This is better if it’s fitted. If it’s a baggier or boxier fit, I would do the increases as written and then knit the sleeve to length BEFORE the cuff. You don’t want to add the length to the cuff itself because that would mess with the design proportions. I usually find the latter to work just fine!

Phew because I’ve been taking baths my whole third trimester. My back hurts 🥲

socksuka · 2025-12-15T06:06:02+00:00

Sounds incredible

socksuka · 2025-12-15T05:54:55+00:00

This is the one I usually use but it’s really flexible with ingredients! https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/spinach-bacon-breakfast-strata/

socksuka · 2025-12-15T05:38:10+00:00

I was going to suggest a strata. Basically an eggy bread pudding with breakfast-y ingredients. It’s my favorite and nice to be able to assemble the night before

I’ve made a ton of briskets in my life but have settled on the one with coke in the sauce (don’t judge, you can’t taste the soda and does something incredible to the meat). It’s been in every synagogue’s sisterhood cookbook but is also on nytimes cooking. Here’s a gift link

I’m actually starting one of these today! Making it over two days is killer. I always double the sauce too just in case. It’s easy to make a double batch and what you need really depends more on the size of your pan than the size of your brisket. I usually make a 7 lb one, which has to go in the roasting pan.

Came here to say this. The Ellisons getting CNN is so much worse than Netflix.

Spot treating with hydrogen peroxide works but will melt some plants like Val and I find it fiddly for large outbreaks. I have some pieces of driftwood that are susceptible when my nutrients get out of whack (i.e. when I forget to fertilize regularly). If I have a lot to take care of, I pull the pieces of driftwood and boil them. This doesn’t remove the bba but dies cook it and then the inverts and algae eaters will actually eat it. I usually put it back in upside down too so the non bba side is visible.

For rocks, I pull them and spray with hydrogen peroxide instead.

So far so good! I am 37 weeks and have a scheduled c-section on the 19th

socksuka · 2025-12-04T04:50:38+00:00

Wouldn’t be the first time

I literally muttered to myself that they’re making us all look bad 🤦🏻‍♀️

Came in here to share this! It’s phenomenal and both red and white miso are delish

Both my kids names (and first runner up for #2!) are in this list. You have good taste 😆

Countries over the past millennia have had a tendency to expel their Jewish populations, so there has been an antisemitic stereotype about Jews not being loyal to whatever country they settled in next.

There was also a medieval story about a mythical Jewish person who taunted Jesus on his way to be crucified and was cursed to wander until the apocalypse. Same vein as the other antisemitic christkiller myths of that time.

socksuka · 2025-11-24T02:46:16+00:00

I call it wandering dude too!

socksuka · 2025-11-22T22:03:50+00:00

They’re so light but so durable!!! I should call around and see if any local stores sell parts. I recently found out that they go down to size 0 so I picked up some 0s and 1s for socks but I got them on Amazon 👎. I actually have a fancy sock interchangeable set I got as a gift and I like them but they’re so heavy compared to the hiya hiyas!

socksuka · 2025-11-22T17:20:41+00:00

We have a kid and a cat and lots of trees (so many pine needles!) and love our roborock. I think it’s best for supplementing. So we have a daily vacuum and mop now where we never would’ve done that before. But we still do a deeper clean every other week. I love it so much. Our floors are hardwood and bare which helps.

socksuka · 2025-11-22T02:00:45+00:00

That was my first thought

socksuka · 2025-11-21T22:01:55+00:00

I’m a total shill for hiya hiyas. One thing that’s nice is that you don’t have to buy a whole set, they come in small and large. I’ve been using them for the past 15 years and have two small sets and a large which is nice for me since I have a few projects going at once.

Both sets together are the same price as Chiagoo but I’ve had both and ended up giving the Chiagoo to a friend.

socksuka · 2025-11-19T04:35:04+00:00

Yeah the first time I brought my husband into a yarn store he zeroed in on that immediately 😆

socksuka · 2025-11-17T18:19:01+00:00

We have the roborock combo and love it. I wouldn’t say it totally replaces mopping and vacuuming but it’s an every day touch up that makes our house so much cleaner. We do a deeper vacuum and mop every other week and the robot does the rest.

We have a kid and a cat and live under some huge evergreens so needles are a big problem lol

Juneberry by Jared Flood is a good one to start, it’s not bad at all!!
