I think most left handed people are mostly ambidextrous. I personally don’t think many left handed people cannot do most things with their right hands. Just my observation.

My right hand is mostly useless (yes, there is the softball, swing away Chaos)

That is interesting! I have always wondered if those kinds of tendencies are because of just having reasons to use the non dominant hand a lot throughout life, or maybe just childhood. I started playing piano very young, so have often wondered if that is part of why I can use my right hand as I do. And I do lots of things right handed, and other things left handed. Throwing a softball? I suck with either hand.

My brother was left handed and he could do almost anything 100% better than right handed me! He just couldn't sign his name with his right hand.

Hey Justa!! I was thinking about you this morning!

I am back doing what I had been doing for years, with a great company. Life is getting good again.

so glad to hear things are looking up.

I think this is true. If you do something that uses both your hands your non dominant hand can gain dexterity.

I found older people usually are, but younger not as much. However, schools didn't used to handle left handed well so makes sense. I am seeing a new trend in younger folks, males especially, being more ambidextrous again. It is the fast passed action computer games. Left handed gamers have an advantage if they learn to mouse right handed while they key left handed. more accurate faster keying than those right handed trying to key left handed, but equivalent mouse times as less accuracy needed. My son is left handed and prefers to mouse right. He is more ambidextrous than me and his father (both right handed), but less than my left handed step dad (whose teachers would smack his hand with a ruler if he tried to write or cut or whatever left) He is full ambidextrous.

I feel like we actually have the upper hand (har!) being lefties playing guitar right handed. My left hand has more dexterity- it’s better suited for the fret board. A lot of why I do certain things right handed is because I was taught by right handed people. But I also can’t throw a ball good with either hand. Although my right does it a little bit better

I agree completely! Years ago a left handed childhood friend who played guitar pointed that out to me shortly before I seriously started playing guitar - and I am so glad I play guitar right handed!

That makes total sense to me.

Hi everyone newbie here. 44m from Oklahoma

Ok … if you KNEW there would be no judgements … would you guys willingly offer up the size of your peeners? … HONEST responses?

7.5 inches and thicker than most

Hi everyone newbie here. 44m from Oklahoma

Not to buy into stereotypes… but being from OK… is that 75 Chevy a pickup? (Please don’t be insulted, I love those square body chevys!)

 

[Strixaluco]

On my way home. It was fun, until migraine started to creep in, so I left 1h before it ends.

What I really want is a serger! No space to set up a workplace though.

I've been thinking of one, but for me the sewing machine is what I absolute must have. That's what I learned to use as a kid. And I don't have place for both.

Absolutely - I am in a great mood all the time again, like I used to be.

This is so wonderful to hear!

I bet you look beautiful Strixy

I was pretty satisfied with myself! (Sorry, no pics. Didn't have time to take any.)

not offended at all. Yes I have a 75 k10 Chevy Scottsdale stepside wood bed

If you can only have one, you don’t want a Serger - It does one thing, really well. I hope you can get your machine working again easily.

Nice!!! I have a 454 in my garage I pulled from a 75 camper special I had put in my 65 C20… until a fool ran a red light and totaled my truck. Your truck sounds really cool.

It’s a work in progress. I blew the motor last year
