    holds up left hand!!!

    okay, so laura got me thinking (yes i can think believe it or not!) any other lefties out there?

    *proudly holds up left hand*

    i use mine for eating and writing... otherwise i use both or the right. no left handed scissors for me... even though the teachers refused to let me have right handed scissors in school so i had a heck of a time getting those leftie scissors to rip the paper with my right hand LOL

    Re: holds up left hand!!!

    I am a righty from a lefty family and married a lefty wife, so I'm surrounded by 'em! . I was forced to be left handed for about 6 weeks when I was 12 and broke my right arm. I got pretty good and writing, drawing, playing tetherball (best ball-and-string game ever!!) with my left. I wish I had kept it up though, now I think it is plotting against me (it is the sinister hand....)

    Re: holds up left hand!!!

    I'm a lefty!! But like you, I only write and do a few other things with my left. Left handed sissors are the bane of my existance...I couldn't use those to save my life. Most sports and things I use my right (and I can't throw with either hand haha)

    My mom was born a lefty, but they wouldn't let her use her left hand when she was in school, so she is now right handed. That happened to a friend of mine as well, but I think it was his parents, not the teachers, that wouldn't let him be left handed.

    Re: holds up left hand!!!

    Lefty here, I can’t do a thing with my right hand, not even the simple things in life.


    Funny anecdote: when I was in first grade and started to learn reading and writing I was doing it backward from right to left.

    Re: holds up left hand!!!

    ya my teacher in school... made me choose a hand as i was fully ampedextrus (sp) until then. she'd wack my hand with a ruler whenever i changed hands...

    so i guess wiping your butt with your right is out of the question jamie? and you always need to sleep on the left side of the bed when you have a lady friend over? (i know my hubby is fully right handed and can't use his left hand to save his life LOL)

    Re: holds up left hand!!!

    Lefty here too. It's good to be left handed until you need to use something that was designed for a right hander. I can't use scissors to save my life, and every guitar store has only one left handed guitar in stock so I always have to order.
