Left Handed Question!!

[johnnym]

Been a lefty all my life. It's the rightys that are strange to me.

I've been a lefty since birth.

A first grade teacher tried to tape a pencil to my right hand but that lasted a few days until the day I wore it home from school. My Mom was P***ED! that teacher was told to never do that again!

My absolute joy in life is to watch right handed people try to use my left handed Fiskars scissors! Now they feel my pain growing up!

True left handed scissors have the upper and lower blades reversed so that you are putting pressure/torque against the cutting edges to make a clean cut. A right handed person is taking the pressure away from the cutting edge, making it harder to even just cut something!

I shoot both right or left depending(Edited to prevent thread from going into the penalty box), I golf(shank/hook/slice) left, waterski left leg forward (if that makes sense?!?) paint the house ambi, shoot/throw balls left (when my shoulder cooperates), play guitar right.

I use both fists to pound on the computer keyboard, however.

I echo McClef's sentiment, but run with scissors in my left hand.

I used to be mostly left handed.

Everything got shifted to the right because of this cane.

AAAAAARRRRGGHH!!! I just received a copy of Barb's book, The Art of Kiltmaking, which clearly states, in a little grey box on page 46, that you can't construct a kilt left handed. Maybe that will be revised in the new edition. Regardless, I think I'm up to the challenge!

I've made a couple of kilts left-handed, so it can be done, but don't take my word for it - check with the professional:

Yet another Southpaw here. I got forced to do the right handed writing thing. I notice I switch depending on the surface; when using paper and pencil on a flat horizontal surface I'm using my right hand, but when I'm writing on a vertical surface, like a chalk board (yes those are still in classrooms!) I use my left hand. To top if off both examples look completely different.
Strange.... I ended up playing one of the few brass instruments in which you use both hands.

I'm a righthanded lover of lefthanded people. (My wife is lefthanded.) Does that count? Can I be in the club?

I can't even scratch lefthanded.

We will let be an honorary member but don't look for any pity. It't not our fault you are right handed.
Left handers have to learn to get along in a right hand world you folks have created for us, but we WILL take over someday and set things correct.

Yes, because we will not make it RIGHT, which would be incorrect
