1. left handers are the only people in the right side of their brain!

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Yes we are and we are the most

effective listeners also.

[shraby]

2. My right hand is only good for holding things so I can work

on them with my left hand.

3. Great, but we make up 10% of the pop. - 10% of 365 is 36 - shouldn't we get FIVE WEEKS, not 1 day?

4. Sounds like someone's doing their math left handed

Now you sit up straight and do your math with your right hand like everyone else

[Brother Buzz]

5. In celebration of national Lefthanders Day Ned Flanders is extending his business hours

6. This is timely

I broke my right wrist last night and I'm a righty. Left hand doesn't work as well.

[Blue_true]

15. Oh oh. Yeah, you have some fun ahead.

I am semi- ambidextrous (can only swing sonething from above my head left-handed, when I shot guns, I shot long rifles and shotguns left-handed). But a few years back, when I had a problem with my right wrist, things like bathing, wiping my tush, brushing my teeth, were very difficult and required a lot of extra time.

7. A pox upon you

My mother was a southpaw. Seems your waving emoji is not normal.

[Merlot]

9. Do left-handed compliments count?

[Takket]

10. i'm a lefty!

in my handedness and my politics!

[malaise]

11. I was a lefty but my mother encouraged me to

switch very early - I was ambidextrous for years but turned into a full righty.
Strangely enough my left side is still my stronger side. I know this because I have exercised all my life and everything stretches better and further on my left side to this day.

12. Lefties have rights too

[blogslut]

13. Your smiley is a lefty

[Blue_true]

14. Pushing a pen across paper instead of dragging it is not "normal" my friend.

Having said that, Happy Leftie Day.

16. I am the most lefty of all lefties

From what I've read, left handed daughters of left handed mothers are as right brained as can be! That'd be me.

When people are walking toward me on the street, I always bump into them because I move left instead of right. A right handed tennis instructor (during my college years) couldn't teach me. In exercise classes, when the instructor says extend your right leg, I extend my left, etc.

I spent my childhood years with my dominant arm hanging off the end of the chair desk, with ink streaks all over my pinky and ring fingers, and ink smeared across pages.

I always sit at the head/foot of a table or on the left end in a restaurant so I don't jab people. Scissors are a disaster for me - and left handed scissors are useless.

We've got Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Oprah, Bill Gates, Einstein, Marie Curie, Sir Isaac Newton, and Alan Turing.

Happy Left Handers Day!

22. Yes, the scissors thing is about all that's even noticeable at 71.

Sometimes I put on a glove when I have a lot to do.

I remember what a treat it was to go in a classroom that had a few left handed desks, probably in college.

It's actually amazing how we've adapted to so many things designed for right handers without even thinking, such as the layout of equipment and controls in cars.

Just occurred to me that when we unscrew jar lids, we rotate our wrist opposite to the way right handers do, so maybe we develop a different set of muscles for many tasks.

17. Proud lefty here!!!!!!

[Cairycat]

18. Proud lefty here also!

Though as an adult, there are some things I've learned to do right-handed. When I learned to use a ten key calculator, the instructor made everyone use their right hand. Actually that was a good thing for lefties, since we could go down the column of figures, make notes, etc.

I learned to golf left-handed, since I was using my dad's right-handed clubs.

My three children are all right handed like their dad, but my older son bats left-handed in baseball.

[Bettie]

19. I'm a lefty

politically and in terms of writing.

[chowder66]

20. Woo hoo!!! Typed with my left hand. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Hey, I'm right handed.

That other hand is the wrong hand!.......


All together now..........

Happy Lefty Day to me, Happy Lefty Day to me,

Happy Lefty Day Dear KY_EnviroGuy,

Happy Lefty Day to me!..................... ...... ..... .......

23. Left handed and proud!

We’re so much more adaptable than righties - because we have to be. Scissors are the only thing I do better with my right hand. I am left-handed, left-footed, my left eye is dominant, and even my obliques are stronger on my left side. And I have found out on the glute machine at the gym... it works one leg at a time, and a given weight is easier with the left gluteus maximus... so I am apparently left-assed as well.
