Happy Lefthander's Day!

I usually look for lefties. When they are nice , like salespeople I tell them about Lefthanders Day. I hope your day was good! ps. Don't worry about the typo. i can't spell. Thank G-d for spell check, lol!

I can't spell either! LOL However, that obviously wasn't the case here. If only spell checker caught these kinds of typos. I'd have it made! LOL PS Thanks Sarah! I hope yours was great!

Defense. Not defensive. lol

Amen!

That campaign we were going to have a lefthanded president. Clinton, Bush Sr, Or Perot. All lefties!I remember being proud and amazed!

Me too and I was glad we ended up with the RIGHT lefty! Annie

Over here for many years if a teacher noticed a child using their left hand when they stared to write, he/she would force them to learn how to write with their right hand. I believe it goes all the way to the Puritans . They thought being lefthanded was the sign of being of the devil. So for many older Americans they do every lefthanded but write. My older sister had a teacher was about to do that to my sister and my mom went to the school and told them to stop. I know if I were told I had to use my right hand I would just not write! By the time I got to school us lefties were about half of the class in my pre algebra!Do many discriminate against lefties ? The people no, the way things are made , yes. many things are made for righthanders to use.

Wish them a happy Lefthanders Day!

My sister does that. My mom who wasright handed would switch too but I put the fork in my left hand and the knife in my right and eat!Go Figure!

Well you do like I do in reverse. Nice. It makes it easier to eat with two hands instead of one.

Thanks Sis! I had a great day.

Wow! I didn't know. another thing we have in common! I hope Monday was a good day for you!

Thanks my friend!

ok On every August 13th , do something she would have liked to do. That way you and her spirit and celebrate the day.

I love the pencil! I am so glad I could brighten you day! With all those lefties in you family , next year you All should go out together. By then you may know about you granddaughter!

Fantastic! Enjoy your day!

At work there are about 4 of us. At highschool there were many. And there are countless actresses and actors.Back in the day I used try to count them all. Now there are too many! Enjoy your day! And send Auntie my regards!

I didn't know that! I hope he had a good day!

She was taught how to write righthanded? They tried to do that to my sister, my mom went to the school and had it out with the teacher. By the time I went to school half the school was lefthanded! Different era And different school!Wish Mom a Happy Lefthander's Day for me.

My mom would have gone to school and hit her!

yes she was she told us that her teacher would hit her left hand if teacher found her using it for writing.

There is always next year.

Which hand? You sound more ambidextrous!I do some things with my right hand but most of the time I do things with my left hand.

You are lefthanded too? Fantastic! Go have chocolate!

This gives me a great idea! Next August 13th, make a movie date with your Dad. Just him and you. Celebrate being lefties. It is so great to be leftie. The only thing that was a pain was those old fashioned desks that had the desk top set on the right! Here is a link to a great list of the famous lefties. www.lefthandzone.com/site/684713/page/228791

I must confess , I haven't read the whole list... yet. I knew about Morgan Freeman. I saw him write in a movie. And I that's how I found out about Judy Garland. There is a movie short where she is writing a fan letter to Clark Gable. And I Knew , Just knew Robert Redford was lefthanded. Why? In the Natural, he batted lefthanded! But the one leftie I didn't know until this year is Brando. How did i finally figure it out? By noticing that he clears the table with his left hand in Streetcar Named Desire!And he taps his chin with his left hand in the Godfather! Now I have seen both of these films many times but did I notice? No! Not until this year!

Awesome idea! It's a date. I'm putting it on the calendar right now, and when it's within a month or two, we'll start nailing down plans of what to see and so on. You're right - it's the best being lefties! I love being different. This is my way to stand out and be set apart from the norm. I hated those silly desks! I went all the way through college not even realizing they had "leftie friendly" ones that they purposefully left at the back of the classrooms because they were never used. I should've demanded to have one put in place for me in every class! Of course, a lot of my classes were at the computer, so then it didn't really matter. So many things are made for right handed people that I don't normally think about it too much, but sometimes things like that bother me! I don't like pens or pencils with a lot of writing on them because they are always upside down for me lol. Thanks for sharing the link. So interesting! All these famous people, and I had no idea they were lefties. I should've know that Mr. Einstein was a leftie. Would we expect anything less? lol Oh...and Henry Ford was a leftie. That's neat and quite significant for our family because my dad worked for Ford for over 30 years. How cool! Benjamin Franklin and Morgan Freeman?? Now that is neat. Can you tell I'm reading through the whole list now? haha Judy Garland and Bill Gates too! I had no idea Angelina Jolie was a leftie. Helen Keller...now that is special. Dennis Quaid...Julia Roberts I did know that about her at one point. Even Mark Twain! D Van D (thanks, myLot lol)...what a great list! Here's a neat statistic for you... If neither parent is left handed, their child has about a 1% chance of being left handed. If one parent is left handed, their child has only about a 19% chance of being left handed. If both parents are lefties, the child still only has a 50% chance of being left handed. Kind of cool, huh? These numbers aren't exact, but any site you look up will have around the same figures. I was reading a couple minutes ago that only 10% of the world's population are left handed. So we are a rare treat!

My sister is a little ambidextrous. Have you gotten any sleep?

I'm the same way with things. I use the mouse with my right hand! Enjoy your day!
