[BlindTlk] applying toothpaste

[Jude DaShiell]

Better, don't apply toothpaste to the brush and risk messing up clotheing.
Put toothpaste directly into the mouth then put the brush into the mouth.
When I was working I remember a bathroom conversation with a manager who
had several pay grades above me.  He was complaining about applying
toothpaste and getting it on his tie and he was sighted.  I told him I
don't have that problem since I put the toothpaste directly into my mouth
then put the brush in the mouth and brush my teeth.  He thanked me and
he'll never mess up another tie that way at least.

> Madison, I didn't see your original post. Here's what I do. I have the toothbrush on the counter. I'm lefthanded, so the toothpaste tube is in my left hand. I lightly touch the tip of my index finger on my right hand to the edge of the toothbrush and make sure I get the paste only on the top of the brush. It doesn't make a mess, and it makes sure I'm putting it exactly where I want it to be.

Can have your own personal tube of toothpaste if it would gross out anybody else but it works perfectly and I?ve done it most of my life! You can also measure out the amount you want.
