It's too quiet here on the forum. How about another poll??

So my upcoming surgery will leave my right arm in a sling for 6 weeks. I'm right handed. I have been practicing doing many things with my left hand. I have not even poked myself in the eye with the mascara and I don't look like a raccoon. I'm getting there.

As a baby I was a lefty, but back in those days, Moms thought being a lefty made things difficult, so Mom would put my toy/spoon, or whatever into my right hand. By the time I went to school, I was not a lefty.

I still do a few things left handed. I deal cards left handed, and on the rare occasions that I sew, I'm told I'm doing it as a lefty.

So, what about you. Left handed, right handed, ambidexterous ?

Oops a typo in the choices, but can't change it.

I'm going with the "takes a little effort" At the end of six weeks, I'll truly be ambidexterous.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous !

(Sorry - someone had to say it...)

Being a lefty, I have no ability to do anything with my right hand.

I answered yes, I'm able to write and play tennis with either hand.

I damn near starved to death when I screwed up my right hand.

I've managed Cheerios with my left hand. Eating with my left hand is my next mission before the surgery.

I don't care about food that much, had to learn to do hair and makeup left handed first. We must set our priorities.

Well all I've tried so far is Cheerios.....

I can't even think of anything I can do with my left hand.

Left handed people, who have worn glasses since or before high school, are intellectually well above average. This is old social data; do you agree? I believe it.

Hey, who gave me the stop obsessing vote?


I look at this preparation as the former Girl Scout in me surfacing again...Be prepared!
