Just In Just heard about this..............................

+1 for Andy D - he made you try it!

No use in me trying, I can't tell you how many times I went back to read notes I made and couldn't
even read my own cr@ppy writing... and when a customer or someone is watching me write, I have this weird thing
happen where I revert back to a 3rd grader & can't spell even simple words.

I ******* ***** with both hands.

 

[James Burke]

I remember reading about someone (maybe Michelangelo or Da Vinci?!?!) who could write two entirely different sentences at the same time.
If I remember correctly, he would write upside down and backwards with his left hand while writing normally
with his right hand.

I can easily and quickly write backwards (mirrored) cursive....and it's absolutely stunning...with the correct slant and flow because I am able to pull the pen, much like a righty. My normal cursive just doesn't have the same sizzle and pop.

hmmm....

Most people can print with their less dominant hand. It's writing in script/cursive of connected slanted penmanship which is a problem. Besides, who uses a pencil/pen anymore ?? We're all keyboard wizards.

 

[Andy D]

hmmm....

I have also heard that if you have to write a bank robbery note or ransom letter, you
should write it out with your non-dominant hand, but you might want to stick with words cut
out of a magazine...

this lady does amazing drawings with both hands at the same time!

Peach....... while the drawings are great whether right or left handed, I highly doubt anyone can draw two pictures at the exact same time. You need to look at what you are drawing..... and focusing on two separate objects is next to impossible, unless you're wall-eyed and even then, it's difficult. Besides, no one in the world draws in that fashion, unless you are using a light table or some sort of template/pattern. She was putting in shadows and highlights before she knew where something was gonna be. The whole thing was pre-designed and orchestrated somehow. I'd like to look further into this.

 

[Peachtree Signs]

here's another angle

Peach: not only amazing drawing but amazing cleavage.

I know, she's hot too, some lucky bastard scooped her up early I'm sure

I remember in sign school the lefty's were told they would have a tougher time with some of the work, especially working wet over wet, like outlines/shading and may need to use a mahlstick more than others (we were mostly using hand over hand). I'm a right, but shot left playing hockey. After I shattered my right arm in a fall off a roof I now have a stronger and more flexible left than right.

 

[James Burke]

Nothing pleases this lefty papa more than to see my little red-haired, blue-eyed grandson using his southpaw (and his tongue sticking out for added dexterity) to color me a picture...gush. To say there's an extra special bond there is an understatement!

I think you're right...

When my hour comes and I'm standing before God, I will have to ask why it was important to distribute talent so unequally!?!?

 

[eahicks]

In my own life, I am the victim of my first grade teacher, Miss James, who made me hold my pencil in my right hand. Otherwise, I would be fully left handed. I ended up developing all my fine motor skills right handed but still retain my gross motor skills as a lefty. I write and use most tools as a right hander while I throw and bat as a left hander.

I'm the same way Fred. Schools seem to make you conform to righthandedness....I am righthanded, in life, but bat, hockey stick, and golf lefty, even started playing drums lefty, but ended up playing righthanded because lefty was "wrong". Even shooting guns I am left eye dominant.

 

[Gino]

So, is this really about being right or left handed or how much dexterity one might have ??​

 

[Andy D]

Our three last Presidents were left handed? No wonder the country was in a mess

 

[Gino]

Yeah, they couldn't do anything right !!!!!
