Right-handed v Left-handed

Paul and I are both lefties, so we are getting all the left-handed things we can find.  That way, when one of my right-handed sisters come over, they'll have a hell of a time using the left handed can opener in their right hand.  Let them see what my life is like!!

For those lefties out there: I like to refer to my self as right handed (I use my left hand).  I refer to my right handers as wrong handers ;-)

I'm a leftie but being around so many righties I've learned to do things with my right that I can't do with my left. For instance, I can't use the computer mouse with my left hand now

I'm the same way.  My parents years ago bought me a left-handed mouse and I simply couldn't use it.  I had the same problem with knives.  Couldn't cut with certain knives my Mom had.  Come to find out the blade was only sharpened on one side.   I, also, learned to cut with right-handed scissors.  My school never had left-handed scissors, like they do today.  I try cutting with left-handed scissors now and I feel deformed.

My school had left-handed scissors, but they were all safety scissors!  I always ended up struggling with the right-handed ones so I could actually cut through paper.  Before I left for college, my dad bought me a faaaabulous pair of Fiskars lefty scissors.  Still have 'em and love 'em.  So does my lefty husband!

BTW... Fiskars (which by chance is located just a few miles away from where I sit) makes ambidextrous garden shears.  Not all models, but several are designed for either hand.

I was playing guitar with my exboyfriend once,when he said to me "ummm ur holding ur guitar upside down" lol. I had to tell him I was a leftie,and he restringed my guitar so I could use it as lefty :p

You should open a Ned Flander's style Left Handers shop.

I use both hands for various things.  DW found this test which asks you what side you would use (I think it asked about hands as well as kicking a ball) for a particular task and it ranged from -23 (everything you do is left handed) to +23 (everything you do is right-handed).
She had a score of -22, the only thing she did with her right hand was using scissors.

I had a score of 0, I did exactly as many things with my right side as my left.  I'll have to ask her if she still has this test, it was from years ago.

Is this it? http://www.righthandlefthand.com/Tests/TestsHomeNew.asp

I remember when I was on college we had to do a calligraphy project. This was before the time of left handed nibs. I had to turn write everything backwards and upside down in order to get it to look decent.
