In the UK we drive on the left. This means the driver's seat is on the right hand side of the car.

Ken went to one of those schools for a short while.<br /><br />When we first got a computer years ago Ken and I shared it. I got tired of moving the mouse from the left to the right side. So I practiced and became a left handed mouse user. When we finally got our own computers I was so used to using my left hand that I've just kept it up.happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-49713066866569604692020-01-13T13:00:57.951-08:002020-01-13T13:00:57.951-08:00We do have a few left handers in the family … and ...We do have a few left handers in the family … and over the years, especially school days, it wasn't too easy living in a right handed world.<br />I seem to recall many years ago many schools insisted that all children write right handed, I'm so pleased that things have now changed.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-2527771441035040932020-01-13T11:29:40.508-08:002020-01-13T11:29:40.508-08:00Careful Mevely.

It would be easier having a right handed person holding the gun and you using your left hand to guide his right hand as to where you wish to shoot. This has the added advantage of blaming someone else for doing the shooting. <br /><br />(Thinks) This conversation is getting silly. And my expensive lawyer is busily writing more disclaimers. This whole article and the comments that followed are meant in jest only and are not to be taken seriously. Except to say that we sympathise with all left-handed people and hold them in as much regards as we do right-handed people - i.e. we dislike them all equally.<br /><br />Thank you Mevely for helping to confuse the issue even more.

It's difficult -- if not impossible -- to write my name or use a fork with my right-hand. On the flip side?

In cases of identical twins, where one is 'right-handed' and the other is 'left-handed', is apparently, referred to as being "Mirror Twins". I too, became sensitive to the plight of 'left-handed' people having to live in a 'right-handed' world. Surely, there must be a "Society for Left-Handed People" somewhere in this World -- and IF ANYWHERE -- I'm pretty darned sure that such a Society MUST exist in Britain!Suzanne J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15160315274571380598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-5460563419862538732020-01-13T09:54:30.869-08:002020-01-13T09:54:30.869-08:00My mother is a lefty, Victor, so I've always b...My mother is a lefty, Victor, so I've always been sensitive to left-handed people, and how society looks askance at them from time to time.

If it involves something physical like throwing a ball I am righty, if it involves something more cerebral like writing, I am lefty.<br /><br />Left handed pitchers and bowlers always throw better curve balls that righty. My theory is the body's organs are on the left side giving the lefty thrower more weight on the throwing side and that gives them extra spin.<br /><br />I do have trouble reading your posts as I read left handed. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-19308971630000410062020-01-13T05:16:41.434-08:002020-01-13T05:16:41.434-08:00The word "Ha" has been taken to imply mi...The word "Ha" has been taken to imply mirth and satisfaction with the article in question rather than an utterance of dismay or disdain regarding anything that has been written or inadvertently implied in the original article about left-handedness in general or left-handed people in particular.
