.:.impossible Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 My mother, a kindergarten teacher at the time, saw my left-handed tendencies and decided life would be easier if I were right-handed. I still shoot pool lefty, just like I did as a toddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Left only when playing hockey. Golf, baseball.....and everything else righty. Don't know why that is. Confused maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 me. At school my mother got hit on the hand with a ruler for writing with her left hand. She's still a leftie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankin Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Me too. (Although I throw with my right.) My grandmother was a lefty but was forced to write with her right hand in school in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Bob Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Me too! That's a good list. Never knew about Fripp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Marx was a lefty - Lenin, too. I'm still bewildered as to how Ronald Reagan got on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Me also. Me too. They tried to turn me into a rightie in primary school in the second half of the 60s but never succeeded. The last one to try was my dumbass biology teacher when I was 10-11. No dice ...

Larry Kart Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Me, too, for the most part. Write lefty, throw lefty, etc., etc., but bat and swing a golf club righty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 do lefties use a left hand mouse? this one doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 do lefties use a left hand mouse? this one doesn't No -- probably because as a lefty I'm more than a bit left-handed as a typist, and I find that typing calls for more precise movements than moving the mouse does.

Quincy Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 do lefties use a left hand mouse? this one doesn't I'm right handed but I mouse lefty, though I still use the buttons set up righty. Is this how Hendrix would have used a mouse? I hardly mouse around anymore thanks to trackpads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Who else from this board is a lefty? Brice Marden And I suppose not many people on this board are Brice Marden fans - though I'm just going on the assumption, since he's not nearly as well known as his peers in the world of modern painting.

He's well known enough. Possibly more well known than Agnes Martin. Thank God for that. Although they both might be neck and neck. Maybe Zorn could get involved.

Larry Kart Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 My mother was a lefty, but in those days (she was born in 1912) the Chicago public schools changed lefties to righties and taught everyone the Palmer method of penmanship. She did have nice handwriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
