Lefty, righty

[azsnowman]

Just curious, are you left handed, right handed? Me, right handed, although, I use my left hand more for working, eating etc. and I have more strength in my left hand.

I am a righty!! And I think it is neat to mention I know no left-handed women, but most men I know are left handed! Maybe it's just me though!

I can write with my left hand, but not near as well as I can with my right! My right arm is definitely stronger!

[azsnowman]

Michelle's a lefty, it's freaky watching her write, the paper is almost upside down when she signs her name! Now her sister Marci, her identical twin, is a righty, they are what's know as a "Mirror Twin", they are TRULY indentical but only reversed!

Left handed.

Right handed. Have a brother who is a lefty. The nuns at our old grade school, who were very, very strict BTW, wanted to break him of this "bad habit". But thankfully Gerry stood up for himself, early on. He fought them the whole way. As for his handwriting.....well, it does leave a lot to be desired. But he's using the hand he was meant to write with.

Side note.....he reads magazines back to front cover. In other words backwards. Since he would sit at our kitchen table and look at hot rod mags endlessly, he's 9 years older than me, I picked up this habit. Even though I'm a righty, I read magazines backwards too.

RH....if I try to do anything with my left hand, I look silly I say, silly!

Right Handed here also.. If I write with my left hand it looks like chicken scratches

I borrowed an upright carpet cleaner a year ago and steam cleaned 8 rooms. By the 7th room, my right forearm was getting sore. By the time I was done I realized I should have been switching arms/hands but the damage was already done. I ended up with tennis elbow for 3 months, just to save a few bucks on professional carpet cleaning. How dumb was that? If I even minicked the way I had to squeeze my hand to work the cleaner, I had pains shooting up and down my arm. So that's one example when using the other hand would have been wise. It wasn't surgery or painting.......sometimes you just go for the hand you write with. And pay the price later. I did. Ouch. It's fine now but I learned a lesson there.

ahh yes..Tennis elbow. I have already had a cortizone shot, worked for awhile..now the pain is back, full swing. You should have seen me trying to bowl last night. It was ugly.

I will agree with you Mary about switching hands whenever you can. Its too late for some of us older ones (right Mary?), but if you don't have pain yet, you probably will someday, especially if you sit at a computer all day.

Hey who you calling older? LOL You tried bowling? Wow, that was quite brave or maybe hate to say it, stupid? My tennis elbow was so bad it hurt to blow dry my hair last year! Or lift the coffee pot. Walking the dog wasn't easy either. But it cleared up, it just took a long time. I haven't gone near a carpet cleaner since. Funny thing is after 2 or 3 rooms, I was tempted to buy one. Since we own a dog and have two kids. Someone's always spilling something. That was one purchase I was glad I didn't make. Now cleaning a room a month would be okay, but since I borrowed it, I knew I overdid it. I felt bad just having it for 2 weeks!

Right-handed, right-minded, and on the right.

[stormraiser]

Right hand, my mom is a lefty and I think one of my daughters is, or at least she favors it, but it is still too early to tell

[bfez1]

right handed

[timNms]

I'm right handed....well, mostly. I use my right hand to write and do several things, but I aim left handed when shooting a gun, chop wood left handed, bat left handed....
My wife, daughter, and son are all lefties! I'm outnumbered!

[weatherluvr]

Righty here, which works out good because I seriously injured my left shoulder twice.

[DaylilyDawn]

I am right handed but I can sign my name with my left hand. It looks like my grandson will be a lefty for sure though.

[Guest]

Right=handed. But when playing softball I bat lefthanded (weird) huh!

My dad is a lefty.

[furluvcats]

Righty, and faithful to it!
