On the other hand...

"Today is International Left-hander's Day, a day in which left-hander advocacy groups remind you that left-handed scissors, school desks, and computer mice are nonexistent in many places and hard to come by in others. The holiday was first celebrated on this day in 1976, started by Left-hander's International, with the guiding mantra, "Lefties have rights."

 

The group also puts out bulletins with information like this: "Did You Know? Right-handed people operate in the left side of the brain. Left-handed people use their right side. Therefore, only left-handed people are in their right mind."

 

Between 10 and 15 percent of the world's population is left-handed. While we don't really know why a fraction of the world is left-handed, we do know that it is genetic. Scientists have recently discovered what they think is the gene that allows a parent the possibility of procreating a left-handed child."

 

I am right-handed, but my mother and sister were/are lefties.  Mom was discouraged from using her left hand in school but she held out.  Her handwriting was beautiful, and she had an unusual way of curving her hand over the top of the page as she wrote. My handwriting is nothing to rave about, so being a rightie is not so much of an advantage there, I guess.

 

How about you?

[P.A.]

Five of the last seven U.S. Presidents have been lefties, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama were lefties. During that time only Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush were righties. Of course Bush was much more a rigthy than Carter.

Try using a computer mouse if you're right handed...

[Chez moi]

Wait, do you mean left?

[Bob Stepp]

Yes...Yes...Yes left-handed!!!! Can't spell, read or think today...:-(

I'm left handed, and feel I do a credible job with the mouse. I didn't have any choice....when we got computers at work a few years ago, we, the loyal workers weren't consulted on what we would want or need. One use I'm not very good at is freehanding printing in YoVille while using the right hand mouse. Of course, that's just an obscure fuction in an obscure online game.

Smart people are supposed to be left handed.
Of course, I'm right handed.
Doomed from the start.

Awww, you're not alone!

She was a Virgo, and quite tidy; it kept her hand out of the ink/pencil.

[d's girl]

My stepmom is a left-handed Virgo & writes that way, too AND she's quite tidy as well!
Did she turn the page kind of sideways, almost vertical, actually?

[Chez moi]

Yes, isn't that a coincidence? My sister doesn't do it that way, though I can't remember her technique - it's much less striking.

Left hand? Right hand? There all paws to me. I ain't gonna bite the one that feeds me.
