Lefties

I'm a lefty. Not that it would make a big difference. None of my hands like to work. Only my brain does. But having not much of that either, I'm a sorry person. That's why I'm in charge of a group of people at work and let them do all the hard work for me. Yes, I have a whip, but I don't know how to use it on them. When I lash out with it, I only succeed in hitting myself. Is there such a thing like a left-hand whip?
To be serious, I have neer had any issue with right-handed stuff. It all kind of comes natural to me to use it with my left hand. Or is it just in the US that some clever entrepeneurs decided to create distinctively right-hand and left-hand tools. Perhaps to force all people to live in the same kind of big brotherly controlled society, where there is no please for dissenters.
As if I would be intimidated by such an act of control. Power to the lefties!! I'm not a sheep in the flock. Apparantly I have been ever since I was born, when I started to prefer my left over my right hand.

I'm a lefty! And out of the 8 family members I am the only one, except for my dads brother but I have never met him.

The funny thing is that I write, draw, and eat with my left hand, but I pitch righty, play any game involving hitting something righty, and I snowboard regular....I guess I'm more of an ambie. My handwriting is somewhat messy because we weren't pressured on having perfect handwriting, as long as you can read it it was fine! But I do use my left hand to cut with scissors, aren't there lefty scissors and right scissors? Either there is something like that or I am thinking of something totally different.

My handwriting can be messy, but that's because my dad has messy handwriting. My mom's is alright, although I think neither of them are left handed.

It absolutely bombs living in a right-handed world. I used to work at Burger King, and they only had a right-handed fry scoop. Or measuring cups, the nice Pyrex ones.... they are only right-handed, unless they make lefty ones too.

At any rate, I love being lefty!!!

Hi, Mike. Unlike you, I actually have very pretty handwriting, but then I had the old-school teachers and Peterson's writing course. In order to get that nice handwriting, I have to turn my paper sideways, as in 90 degrees. I'm better than I was, though. Used to be that I turned my paper completely upside down to write. As a result, I can read upside down and sideways and backwards. When I read a book, most of the time, it's slanted towards the left at an angle. LOL

I can't do without my left-handed fabric shears. I sew a lot and they're a must. But you're right. We have to adapt. I learned to adapt in kindergarten in the 1960's, when the right handed kids got to use pointy metal scissors and we lefties had to use blunt-tipped, green rubber-coated handles ones for fear that we would hurt ourselves. Little rebel that I was, I refused to use the blunt ones and look! I'm still here to tell about it.
