Left handed...mouse

[Jaylee53]

My darling daughter is a  "Southpaw".

My mouse isn't and I suspect neither is hers'.

For all you "lefties" out there...

How do you get on in a "rightie" world?

I don't know how they get by but it seems to help people get elected President. Four of the last seven Presidents were left handed and Reagan was ambidexterous. which could mean 5 or the last 7 sort of.

Funny you would mention Reagan, P.A. - I'm watching his "American Experience" biography on PBS at this very moment. I find him scary. Among other things. (I've begun watching TV again, after a 2 1/2 year reprieve. that man of mine has tainted me. '-)

That's cool about the mouse being convertible. I'm right handed, but my step-mother, step-brother & ex-husband are all lefties.

[P.A.]

I have always found him to be extremely overated and the beginning of the problems we have today. Although I think in today's political climate he would be a moderate.

[d's girl]

Yes, P.A., as usual, I agree w/everything you write.

However, watching him now, his blind, strong, blanket hatred of Communism seems naive & ignorant & just plain scary b/c it was such an obsession w/him. And he didn't even know his own staff's name. And the way he moved, how he looked & spoke... it just seems all so rehearsed, so affected.

Duh......he was an actor, and that's all he ever was.

I'm pretty sure you can reconfigure your mouse...

 

I'm a rightie with leftie tendencies...I sweep and shovel leading with my left. I played field hockey and lacrosse left-handed.

[funesthememorious]

...and 'always applying shoe polish to excess' right hand.

[Bob Stepp]

I am so right handed that should anything ever happen to it I will be in serious trouble.The left does come in "handy" for helping Mr. Right hold a hamburger, or any other finger food. I can drive with it while Mr. Right is busy with other things....:=) I can shoot the bird with it. In fact it is a good helper....not so good by itself.

I'm right handed, but my left hand does half the typing......My right hand got mad at farmville & sold almost everything except the trees & animals  which were taken out of their pens & left to roam where-ever they please.....PS...playing games at neighbors gleeful request..I couldn't say NO...But........Pretty soon the right hand will entirely wipe out the whole farm & I will be free to roam elsewhere.....just like the animals on my farm.

[caseyjo]

Your right Kooner...They are not games, but just a way to take up perfectly good energy one could be using to do something constructive....When my neighbor asked me why I wiped out my farm & set my animals free, I really understood the significance of my actions....:)....Next stop.....Right handed Delete....

I'm a lefty....I think most of us lefties had to become somewhat ambidexerous.

I remember through junior high school...we had those wooden chair desks in several classes.  They all had the desk part on the right side.  We got through it.

Before that, in early grade school, there were projects with scissors....all right handed.  Well, much like in baseball, THERE IS NO CRYING IN "SCISSORS"  (Scissors 101 that is)!  Our cut out stuff looked pretty lame at first, but we improved with time.

Lastly, there was penmanship, at which I could never get very good grades.  in order to hold my hand in the correct position, that very hand was drawn over the fresh ink, resulting in smeared letters (yes, we used a dip pen and ink for that exercise....I was born too soon).  Thats probably why most lefties have kinda weird writing.

And to think, if our folks would have only realized, they could have sued the school system because we lefties were traumatized, laughed at, and discriminated against.  ;]

My dad, a natural lefty, was forced to "convert" when he was a kid.  He had an awkward looking righty signature....he always used his left hand to use tools (scissors notwithstanding, I'm assuming).
