as i put on my shoes on the other day...i thought
i wonder if i can tie a bow ......with one hand ?
after 10 minutes..i managed it with my left hand.
 then i used my right hand... to tie a bow in my
left shoe lace....i thought... it would be almost
impossible.... just a bit of................. fun
 all this came about when i was in Plymouth years
ago...when a young lad had his arm in.... a sling
he recieved a letter that required his signature.
because he could not sign it.....that started me  thinking,so i started writing with my other hand.     

There is saying??  "Good Thinking Batman" ????
 I cannot Tie shoe laces now, so my shoes are all slipon's
 Shirt Buttons can be 'trying' too ----- EVE, can you help me ---- Please !!    yes!! it does happen and I have to laugh with my struggles ???? -- Nothing like being 'Ambidextrous' -- Keep 'em working ??????

Smiler,thankfully I dont have shoes with laces in lol
but I am naturally ambidextrous !
forced as a kid to use the right hand !
people with only one arm can do almost what we can do marvelous init !

Er!! Yer??   I eat my Dinner likes the americans ? Wiv me right hand ??  --  reminds me of last year, a weekend at 'Warner's'  when I 'scattered' my Dinner off the plate, as i could not control my left hand -- Eve had to cut the meat and took 'full advantage' of the Fun ??

 hello Mac...adding to your being ambidextrous..i thought
 what about competions..where people use their other hand
 or foot..like in football...the left back goes to being
 the right back...and so on....would be so funny ?
    i thought of trying to mount a bike...(leave the room
 Pheonix).....from the left side.....instead of the right
 i reckon i would fall off.
    about your teachers forcing you... to write with your
 right hand.no teacher at my schools...forced me to write
 with my right hand...and i am older than you...i quess !

Smiler, I did leave the Room??  but snicked back in??
Do you really 'mount' a Bike, from the right side ??
 i dare not try a bike again, but if i tried from the 'right' I am sure I would land up in a Horizontal position very quickly ??  LOL!!

Some years ago I used to make a lot of biking tours, but last year when I tried it again, I discovered that afterwards my knee hurt like devil and I felt rather unsure on the bike. So when I arrived back at home I took my bike and put it in the darkest corner of the cellar. It was such a frustrating experience that I don't want to repeat it again.

Well you see Smiler they were nuns and they believed that life would be easier for me if I could use the gadgets made for right handed people............they were right I can but am muddled with right from left lol ::)


Phoenix keep smiling its the best medicine.! ;D


Teri if you hadnt cycled for some time the knee was bound to hurt lol you should have just popped to the shop on it :D

Mac, thank you very much for your advice, but I think I won't make a second test - it's rather hilly where I live.

Teri,get in the car love !!! lol

have you noticed in the past....and now....how many of
Coronation Street are....left handed.
 
Mike Baldwin..Ken Barlow...Maria...etc!..all the names escape me now !


When we used to dine there were...8 of us at the table    was like a mirror image as....4 of us were left handed   and 4 right handed....both parents...each left & right
handed....& the same for the children.

I never noticed the coronation street cast smiler,but then I dont watch it I know Prince William is a left hander lol

Is there anything wrong with left-handers? One of my daughters is also a left-hander and many of my pupils are, but there's no great difference between them and the right-handers. In Germany we say they are more creative than right-handers, but right-handers are better in mathematics etc.

Lol Teri so thats why I can add up !!!!!

Lucky you! I think I was originally a left-hander, but when I was a child, everybody had to use his "nice hand", i.e. my handwriting was so bad I always had to write an additional page for practice.

It did me a favour Teri when I was nursing,but it left me confused,because i still paint with my left hand and clean with it too lol

.. and what's wrong with it? I have a lot of pupils writing with their left-hand. The only problem is they cover with their arm what they have written.

changing the subject slightly....i went on an American site
talking about....childhood games....like five stones....and
cigarette cards...then one of the moderators...came up with
a whole string of games....and how to play them.
  ` skipping rhymns `
  ` spinning tops `
  ` hoops `
  ` jacks `
  and many many more...i will try to get the `url to you !

Have played all those Smiler in mi younger days. Have run miles with mi hoop

Hi William,  Quite right!!  They was the Fun days!! If those games came back again, perhaps the children would not be --- Bored ???

And hop scotch !
and marbles !

Dinky toy's and Meccano too !!    Such Fun!!
