[BlindTlk] getting my own milk

[jmail201586 at yahoo.com]

Hi Madison,
Madison you habeen given some good suggestions.
I usually measure by using my thumb to see how full my cup is. I also use my
counter to see how full the soda/water/juice etc is.
Good day

Hello Madison,
I totally understand how you are feeling about this. Firstly, I would
recommend that you use your fingers to check whether the glass is full or
not. It would be ok to do so, since you are the one who is drinking the
milk. Second you pour the milk near the sink or have a bigger container so
it can catch the spills.
Thanks.

Hi all,
For Christmas Mom got me this pump thing that goes on the jugs of milk but I
like the taste of the milk in the cartons way better (it's actually does
taste different so I'm not crazy; it's something to do with the wax coating
on the
cartons) so I never wanted the thing in the first place but didn't have the
nerve to tell her when she first told me about it a couple of months before
Christmas. I find it hard holding the cup up to the pump especially as it
gets fuller but pouring from the carton has resulted in several spillages
including a couple that have resulted in milk running all down the cupboards
and onto the floor. Mom gets really mad when this happens and today she said
that we're going back to the jugs but I told her that if I'm doing it then I
can use what I want; even sighted people make messes and I'd think that most
visually impaired people pour things from cartons and don't need a fancy
gadget to help them get a drink.
What do you think I should do? I'm in a really bad mood about this so I
really need help and to vent. Thanks for reading, Madison
