Left- or right-handed?

Are you left or right-handed? Or a bit of both?

And does it affect the way you think, what you are interested in etc??

I mean, left-brained vs right-brained is a very interesting debate. How do you fit into these categories??

Umm I'm right handed. LOL!

I'm not ambidextrous, but I come pretty close! Hubby and I were just talking the other day about how I do certain things with my left hand but certain other things with my right. I do write with my right hand, I can write with my left but its much neater with my right.

My Dad is right-handed, but plays all sports left-handed, cricket, tennis, golf, everything.

He is an engineer, and quite the lateral thinker, too.

Apparently a much higher percentage of architects are left-handed than right-handed.

I am right-handed. I recently had some major health issues, including numbness in my right arm, a tremor in my right hand, drooping in my face on the right side, numbness in my legs etc. 2 MRIs showed I had an 'older' persons' brain, as there were areas which had died, but it wasn't changing like it would if I had MS or other disease. I got to a stage I had trouble some days putting up my hair, or writing. I'd go to write some days and say a letter in my head and write a different letter on the page. I even felt like I was walking on a slope, and had balance problems. My nuerologist wasn't any real help, because even with lumber punches, muscle tests etc there wasn't a 'disease' he could say was causing the symptoms. It was recommended by a friend I see a chriopractor. He sent me to see one of of 2 neurological chiros in Aust. It turned out I had a disfunctioning of the left side of my brain. Basically the right side was functioning at about 70% and the left 50%. After completing a year of some really odd exercises I now have about 100% right and 90% left side brain functioning. Most of my symptoms have gone, although I still do things like say letters in my head and write something else, but on the whole I'm much better and not worried about drooling (The right side of my mouth was numb and turned down a bit). It just goes to show that even though we might have a dominance for one side, we actually need both sides to work to function. The one thing that makes me a bit sad is that I used to be a great public speaker. I would lead parades at school, run the school disco as DJ etc. But I can not speak in public at all now.I feel like I'm going to pass out I get so anxious. And that is something I have lost for ever. But I figure, it is a small cost. It could have been worse. And I can at least say I have a reason for forgetting things etc because my brain is so much older!!

I write with my right hand, but i do play sports with my left hand, its weird because it comes naturally but i dont have enough strength on my left hand to play so its harder to play sports with my right hand.. because i feel terribly unco..
I also sometimes peel and wash the windows with my left hand..

That's funny I am the first left hander here!

I am right handed, but I use my left for the computer mouse off and on because of my right shoulder.

Mollidooka here. (That's Aussie slang for a left-hander.)

I am a lefty too. except i cut paper with my right(since all the left handed scissors i can find are the little school scissors that dont cut well) and i play sports with my right hand too.

Me too...the only thing I do with my left hand is write and eat, which is actually nice, because I cut meat with my right hand so I don't have to switch utensils or hands to eat like most right handed people have to do...I also play sports with my right side.

I'm right handed, i'm completely useless with my left hand, lol.

Go righties!

I'm right-handed. My left is just along for the ride, for all the good it is.

Mom is a righty but, since her stroke left her a right hemiplegic, she's had to learn to eat and sign her name left-handed.

My biological father is a lefty and, out of four of us kids, only one of my brothers is left-handed. Since my father is the one who taught me to shoot, I fire a rifle left-handed but fire a pistol with my right.

I am also left-eye dominant - my left eye has 20/20 vision and my right is 20/25.

I'm a lefty, though I can do a few things with my right hand. I can play a guitar right-handed and use the mouse with my right.

Right-handed. My left hand is pretty useless too.

funny thing is, both my parents are left-handed but me and my two brothers are all right-handed.

I am right-handed.

I'm right handed. I can use my left hand if I really needed to; I had surgery done on my right elbow and wrist about 4 years ago so I had to learn how to use my left hand.

Righted handed here

I use my calculator here at work with my left had tho, so my left isn't completely useless!

im both sometimes when im wriiting poetry or a paper for school if my right had got tired i just switch to my left and give my right a break ( the only reason i can do this is because i had to teach myself to do it. i broke my arm when i was 6 and had to learn how to write with my left because not only did i have the regular cast but i had to have surgery so i spent almost 4 months in a cast fun fun)
