  1. ...hiya all -

    forgive me my vanity - but I'd like to know: are you left- or right-handed? I am a left-hander with some muscle problems in my hand. Whilst reading some scientific stuff I saw that perhaps in OCD left-handedness is more present than it is in the general population.

    I am curious!

    Ciao, Cuthbert.

  2. Now I am curious!!! I am left handed, not too sure what that means though, but I do know there is an air of creativity that many left handers have. Spills the beans Cuthbert please!!

  3. Right-handed.
    I can read upside down nearly as well as right way up, always have. Not that that has anything to do with anything.

  4. I'm right-handed. I really don't believe there could be anything in this theory.

  5. I am right handed, but have more strength in my left arm.

  6. Um... I hope the other 2,546 left-handers on this forum will chime in ASAP... if not, I need a drink.

  7. lol, Wombat you got me thinking. I use to read sentences backwards, have no idea why I did this, could be just to see if I could do it. The other thing you made me think is how I read books. I normally begin at the back of the book and work my way to the front. How bizzare! or is it? never really thought about it until now.

    I'm mainly Left handed, but I can use both hands if the left is out of commition *like if I've sprained it && it's in a sling*
    I guess you could say a self taught Ambidextrous lol

  15. I'm left-handed and proud of it.

  16. I was born left handed but had to change to my right hand as a toddler because of my epilepsy as it affects my left side But even today there are many things I automatically try to do with my left hand but when the epilepsy isn't playing up I revert to my left hand for most things.
    So I'm ambidextrous through necessity though born a left hander
