    What is your hand?

    SO the big question are you left or right or both handed?

    I am both after breaking my right arm several times I learned to write with my left hand and sometime rather use left hand on the tablet and right on the keyboard. Cause right hand on the keyboard is much faster cause the keys on the right side are much better cause you got the enter button and delete on that side. If I was using left for the keyboard I would be crossing my arms or still use right to push the buttons.

    I'm also right handed.
    I once broke my right arm and then I had to write with my left arm at school - I failed xD

    Since then I've never tried to "change" ^^"
    but I couldn't even imagine to use my left as my right arm...

    I'm right handed. although I can write legably with my left and draw a little as well but it takes alot more concentration.
    I've always switched arms just to see if I could.. like throwing a ball.. at first it looked like I threw like a girl but after a while it was like a little kid.. lol

    I can do both hand nunchaku but still my left hand isn't as smooth, especially learning new tricks is easier on the right hand then later left hand but still left lacks a little but eventually can do same tricks with both hands.

    I am mostly right handed but learned to use my left hand at an early age.I have RA and my hands are now crooked up a little, they both hurt but depends on if right hand hurts more than left. That is why I never learned to use a tablet it gets very hard to hold the tool so with a laser mouse I don't need to use my hands like I would with pen.

    When I paint on canvas I use both right and left hands. My hubby made some brush straps for me so I use more arm muscle than actual hands. Sometimes it is fun to create using the weaker side just to see the end design.

    I guess I am a forced ambidextrous

    I'm left handed too & i really like it..
    i use my right hand for eating (of course) & for computer mouse
    but in writing or doing any other activity i'm differently left-handed
    tried to write with my right but it took forever to write decent couple lines that doesn't look like coming out from a K.G kid

    Cool which hand..

    hmm.. interesting.. I am too right handed but both these ARMS that God created are beneficial for different and specific purposes... We Muslims take the issue of "WHICH ARM TO USE WHERE?" very seriously... like for example, you will notice Muslim eat with their right hand, take things with their right hand, all good things are done with right hand, and left arm is used in toylet, cleaning dirt, and etc etc...

    Well. I too have an interesting fact about the famous Right-handed-Prophets

    1. Jesus (peace be upon him)
    2. Moses (peace be upon him)
    3. Ibrahim (peace be upon him)
    4. and Mohammad (Peace be upon Him)...

    And guess what, they did not act on movies and dramas based on lies and deception.. but they were true on their position..

    PEACE BE UPON ALL OF THEM
    Hey- i was just posting that for fun..no comparison to the great prophets!!!!!!!!!
    all i meant to say as left handers are minority, these (known) ppl stand out from them..
    not bcuz they are the greatest
    some of them i like, some of them i don't care about..and some of them is great (..not in prophet standards)But great in their own field
    just copied and pasted the little fact randomly..
    PEACE
