I'm completely right-handed. The only thing I use my left hand for is changing gears and using the hand break in my car. But then again, everyone here in Australia would use their left hand for that (those of us with manual cars, that is).  :D

God Kerry, I've been sitting here trying to imagine shifting gears with my left hand and I don't think I could do it. I'm so used to shifting with my RIGHT hand. I probably shouldn't rent a stick shift car if I ever travel to Australia.

But my boyfriend is from England and he's driven my car while visiting me. He's probably used to shifting with his left hand too. I'm impressed!  :D

I'm right-handed, but broke that paw in a car accident in '95, and had to mouse at work (and do most other things) lefty for 4 months.

It was really interesting; I could almost feel the synapses rewiring themselves in my head.  Now I can do a lot of things with either hand, including (TMI warning) getting my sweetie off.  No complaints so far . . . 

 ;D

My next car's gunna be an automatic. No more gear changing for me!   :)

My Grand Father was left handed, yet in school they tied his left arm behind him and made him learn to write with his right hand.   Imagine that!
My late maternal grandfather, who was naturally left-handed and had a brilliant mind, was forced into right-handedness as a child too. Just barbaric.

^ Yeah, and I imagine they thought they were somehow doing those children a favor!  Crazy. 

Goes to show the good old days weren't always good . . .    :-\

I'm right -handed---and I have O Pos blood type. Standard issue.    :P

Ditto.  We may be standard issue Shasta, but we're the template off what everyone else is made of.  ;D
