I really like this. Currently I just give excess to neighbors that I know will like it. We tend to swap food and other stuff too.

I would have liked to see more information about where to put one. Looking at my own complex, I don’t see a whole lot of places where I could put one. The breezeways don’t have a lot of space (and given that my partner and I are both physically disabled, I am very sensitive to making sure there is plenty of space for every one to move) and I don’t know where else we can put one out of the elements. I’m certain I can’t think of one because of my lack of imagination, not because there isn’t a good place.

It’s not like that at every apartment complex, though. At previous apartment complexes I’ve lived in, I can think of several good places to put them.

Thanks for sharing.

As a disabled person and caregiver, I agree. I still do what I can but some days it is incredibly difficult to even do the bare minimum.

It’s hard not to get discouraged when my body betrays me, but for me I have to remember that my best will usually fall far below a non-disabled person’s best… And this is ok. (I’m still not completely convinced that it is ok but it’s what I tell myself.)

Typically, I brush and floss before bed. In the morning, I will rinse my mouth out to get a lot of the bacteria from overnight out of my mouth.

If I have the energy, I will brush about an hour after my morning snack and caffeine.

If I don’t have the energy, I will rinse my mouth out after breakfast.

I find rinsing my mouth out, while not as good as brushing, really helps freshen up my mouth.
