    Right or Left Handed?

    Are you right handed, left handed, or ambidextrous?

    I am right handed. When I was a teen, I was so right handed I could barely do a thing with my left, it was totally uncoordinated. Then my Mom, who was also right handed, slipped on the ice and broke her right arm. I spent weeks afterwards trying to do as much as I could with my left hand, "just in case."

    I am right handed too, but I can work pretty well with my left hand at some things. When I was younger I use to practice writing with my left hand just for fun. It was very sloppy but ledgible.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I am right handed. I can't do fine work with the left hand (like penmanship or using eating utensils) but I can do many other things left handed. I can throw and catch left handed. I can use some of my grooming tools left handed (so when my right arm gets tired, I can give it a bit of a break).

    Right handed, I can't even throw a ball with my left hand, it really really gives meaning to "throws like a girl" when I throw with my left hand lol.

    I am very strongly right-handed, but can write left-handed if necessary. I practiced doing so when I was bored in school, after my friend broke her right wrist rollerskating. So when I have been in "secret Santa" sitations, I just write out the tags left-handed, and no one recognizes the writing!

    Paul is left-handed, which thrilled my lefty mother, as all her own children are righties!

    I am ambidextrous. At school they learned me to write with my "right" hand. I found out later that I was also able to write with my left hand; I can even write in "mirror" with both hands, as well as updide down ! This "mirror" writing was very handy when I was still a teacher. I could write in mirror in the air, so the kids saw the word correctly. Do I make myself clear?

    I wash windows using both hands: when my right hand gets tired, I use the other hand ? VERY handy!!

    I am left handed but I do lots of stuff with my right hand, I cannot even use lefty scissors I have to use righty scissors with my right hand. I guess I could kind of be ambidextrous because I use my right hand for everything else. I can write with it too but probably more like a kindergartener would

    I'm a lefty, but I can't cut with scissors using left, I need to use right to use scissors.

    I'm left handed. I hope that Nathan will be right handed. Everything thing is designed around right handed people and us left handers struggle.

    For those of you that are left handed do you write with a hook? I don't, but I so often see people that do.

    I'm not sure if I'm right-handed or ambidextrious. I write with my right-hand, and it's much more coordinated. However, I can write pretty well with my left-hand as well and there's a few things I can't do with my right hand. I can't do a right-handed cart wheel, and I also prefer to catch with my left.

    I am right handed, chicken scratches look better on paper then when I write with my left hand.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
