[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I do it as others have said.  I pour into cap/cup over the washing  machine 
into the top loader, feeling it as I pour it.  Then I do rinse out  what I 
poured it into with the water that is filling the tub.
 
Now as for the front loader:  I have 2 washing machines and 2 dryers  side 
by side.  One is a front loader and one is a top loader.  So I  usually 
start with the front loader and then start the top loader so I can rinse  both I 
live in a 2 family house.  We own the house and have always had 2  washers 
and 2 dryers in the basement.  It has been the rules in the past  when we 
had tenants living on one floor that they could use the washer and dryer  on 
their side, but on Wednesday which was my day off from work and laundry day,  
all clothes had to be out of the washer and dryer and I used both of them 
to do  our laundry.
 
Since my son moved in our third floor and finished it off as an  apartment. 
 He put in a washer and dryer on the third floor.  When he  moved out  he 
left all the appliances.[washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator,  dishwasher & 
microwave].  So when I moved up into the Penthouse[as my  husband calls it], I 
now have my own washer and dryer on the same level I am  on.
 
Remember my husband and I with 1 room mate live in all levels which  
includes 13 rooms.  
 
So the guys have their washer and dryer and I have mine.
 
We have 2 Dachshunds that live on the first floor.  My husband has his  
office and the room mate lives on the second floor and I have the penthouse 
with  my guide dog on the third.  The stairs can be tough, but I do like the  
large rooms with the big windows on the third floor.caps/cups out with the 
water  filling the top loader.  In my basement

Joyce, I  have the measuring cups that I can use, but I want to know how 
you 
pour  your laundry soap into it without making a mess or overflowing or 
having  to take it into the kitchen, risking drips, and rinsing it out each 
 
time.
I want to know how total blind people do it.
