[BlindTlk] getting my own milk

Maybe you can have a glass or cup, place them in the sink, and pour your
milk or other drinks into the glass in the sink. That way, the mess is in
the sink.
Hope that helps.

Hi.


So maybe the solution here is to get a pack of the small single serve
ones. Although it should not be impossible to pour as the rest of you
have been saying. Just need a finger down in the cup and might need to
pour a little faster to help keep it from running down the side of the
carton.


You can usually use hearing to figure out if something is full yet, but
I think milk is probably too thick and would be too quiet?
