Just for fun, which one are you? Any interesting stories? Is it different to your spouse/partner? Let's find out if the Stew is left or right-handed
I'm right handed but a lot of people when they see me write think I'm left handed because of the way I hold my hand. Teachers were always thinking I was holding my paper sideways for someone to cheat off me. They'd turn the paper the right way on my desk but then I'd have to sit sideways to write.
I'm right handed, the only relatives I can think of who are left handed are my oldest Grandson and an Aunt of mine. I can write backwards. We had a class period called Study Hall when I was in high school and since I had no problems getting my homework done on my own, I spent the whole hour perfecting the art. After three years of Study Hall, I could write backwards almost as fast as I could the right way.
I have always done most things with my right hand. Though, while I was a graduate student, my supervisor thought I was left handed when he saw that I swirled the conical flask with my left hand while controlling the tap of a buret with my right hand when I had to do a titration. Most people in my family if right-handed and I canonly think of one odd person who was left handed - and he was not even a sibling, but a cousin.
I, like most people, am right handed, with the only possible exception, that while playing baseball as a kid I batted both ways. My dad was a lefty, but in school they forced him to write right handed, and it caused a stammer in his speech, that showed up when he got excited. He did most other things left handed. Our daughter is a lefty about most everything. Her kids are too young to tell as of now. I wonder if there is something genetic about being left or right handed. Here is a little puzzle, when you fold your hands, as when you might say grace before dinner, look at your first fingers, which is on top, right or left, try to fold your hands with the other first finger on top, does it feel strange??

I'm a "right-y" and hubby is a "left-y" we have to choose sides carefully when we sit in a booth together at a restaurant, or it turns into a battle of the elbows. *LOL* The funniest time was when we both had separate accidents within a week of each other and then we both needed to have tendon repair surgeries on our favored hands. ....Well, actually, it wasn't all that funny AT the time.... I severed the flexor tendon in my right thumb on some broken glass, and hubby had a motorcycle accident and shredded two of the extensor tendons on his left paw. We were both in therapy for months afterward. It was a long, challenging summer. We had to go to our bank, and explain that our signatures weren't going to match their record for some time to come. :-? And that is when I learned just what a free ride my left hand has had in life, it didn't "know" how to do ANYTHING! It wasn't even qualified to hold the tissue properly when I blew my nose!!
I'm right handed and the only people in the family who is left handed are my eldest sisters husband and son. When I'm crafting I find that I use both hands and can do so with the same dexterity. I can write with my left hand if I have to and sometimes do it while painting too.
Did you know, that if you are right handed, you are probably right footed too? And the same for left handed and left footed. I am right handed and when you start to step you usually start with the right foot. When I was in Navy boot camp, the left handed people learned to march easier than right handed people. When marching in unison, you always step off with your left foot for some reason.
Well hubby and I are right handed. Both my older children are right handed. Now my 9 yr old is a lefty, go figure that one out. If I try to write left handed I start at the right side of the paper and write to the left but writing backwards. I've heard it said that left handed people are in their right mind, so where does that leave us right handers?
I'm right handed, and more so now than before. I used to be able to write with both hands, but I trained to do that. My husband's left handed.
Toni, what a unique way to spend Study Hall Did you go to HS in the Dallas area? If so, which one? Me... Sunset ... Go Bisons :!: :!: :!:
I went to school in Sherman from 4th thru 12th grade. First grade was at Urban Park elementary in east Dallas, 2nd and 3rd grades were at Scyene Elementary also in east Dallas, not too far from where the Mesquite Rodeo arena is.
I'd have to say both, although I grew up writing right handed. But, I had to bat left handed in softball, but I attribute that to a vision issue. I teach piano sitting at the right of the piano, so it has become more convenient to write notes on music with my left hand, and over the years, you can train yourself to write with your weaker hand. Of course, playing piano as much as I do tends to make a person a bit ambidextrious.
I'm right handed, but have alot of damage to the usefulness of my right hand. Since my fingers and thumb twitch at uncontrollable intervals I do my mousing with my left hand. And I write really slow with my right 'cuz it hurt to do it for long. I paint with both hands, don't even think much about that. Mostly use my left for detail work. But, as the ground-in dirt in springtime will attest to, I do all my weeding with my right!
