I'm a lefty and have broken that arm 2x! It's not fun at 10, nor at 40... ;-)
Here's to all the Southpaws!

I am a lefty and can use my righty one also, call me ambidextrous. My dad taught me how to use both hands at a very young age. He was a "corrected" lefty.

We have an almost even mix of lefties and righties in our family. My youngest is a leftie, as are half my brothers and sisters. My son writes with his hand curled up and around his paper. Teachers often tried to change/correct his way of writing. Drove me crazy!! I gave him a plaque that reads "Everyone is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it!" Happy Lefthanders day!!

I am a leftie as are my sons. My late, right handed husband had to look for the “right hand corner” in restaurants. Lol

When I worked with engineers it seemed like more than the usual number of them were left handed. We had enough that when we went out to lunch there was a left handed side of the table :)

You go lefties! This world isn't shaped around you but it is a better place with you in it :)

My DH and I are left-handed, although I do a lot of things with my right hand. Primarily eat and write with left. Our son is right-handed. Both DH and I angle our paper to the right and do not turn our hand like we are writing upside down. Three ring binders were always a problem.
