Plating attempts.

I cut with my right hand and I play guitar right-handed. I used o hit with a baseball bat right-handed when I was in grade school. I use a comp mouse with my right hand. I'm sure there's lots of other stuff.

I play hockey, baseball and golf left handed, kick with my right which is correct for a left hander and I play guitar right handed, I use a right handed can opener and scissors and my mouse is right handed as well lol.

 

[dragnlaw]

LOL, I would call that pretty darn close to being ambidextrous!

Mom was ambidextrous in the kitchen - don't know about other stuff. Have one sister and one brother lefties, rest of us are all on the other side.

I use a right-handed manual can opener with my left hand. I never really thought about it but it works either way? I didn't know they had left-handed can openers. More often than not I just use my electric, but I do have one of the manual ones.

I remember as a kid playing golf I was the only left hander. like seriously the only member of my dads golf course and now I play with quite a few younger players on a weekly basis from our local golf course and it seems almost half the kids today are left handed, seriously, quite a few and everyone mentions it at the time.

I putt pretty well but I can't drive a ball down the fairway to the green, LOL. It's been a long time, but I think I do it right-handed. But I paint, draw, and write with my left.

When I was a kid, I showed a great interest in music and I asked my folks for a guitar for my 9th birthday. Once they had bought me an acoustic, we went to a local guitar teacher and she asked me to hold my guitar naturally. Instinctively, I held it left handed. So she strung it up for me left handed.
This was the very worst advice she could have ever given.
Being a lefty on guitar means that my options for buying an instrument are severely restricted by the manufacturer. And any instrument that is made lefty has an upcharge, sometimes upwards of 25%. A nice lefty is a special order and takes at least 3 months to get made.
I can’t go into a music store and just pick up an instrument and start playing. I can’t swap out a guitar with my friends.
The resale value of a lefty is questionable, because it depends on how many lefties are in the market, and it’s far fewer than the alternative.
If only that lady had advised me to go against my instincts and learn to play right handed…

You gonna have to go full Jimi

I was forced to use my right hand, so I am fairly ambidextrous.

Do you kick with your left foot?

 

[Jusa]

Do you kick with your left foot?

Either one. Probably a little stronger with my right.

That's what I was thinking, but you worded it better.

My first husband was a south paw. He wrote a computer column for the Montreal Gazette. A lot of different types of computer equipment would show up at our house for him to do a review. One computer came with a trackball instead of a mouse. He attached the trackball to the left side of the computer. I'm not a south paw. But, I still loved using that trackball, even with my left hand. I still think it's better than any mouse I have ever had since, and that was in 1989.

Did he know how to cook? Apparently he was creative and intelligent.

Yes, he did know how to cook. But, as often happens with men, he wanted to do some of the fancy cooking. Couldn't be bothered with every day cooking. He made really good Indian food. He made snowshoe vindaloo when we lived in a log cabin in the country. It was a welcome change. We ate a lot of snowshoe hare and got pretty tired of its distinctive flavour. The vindaloo did a good job of hiding that distinctive flavour.

Living in a log cabin in the country, that's pretty cool. I'm not fond of domestic rabbit, much less wild. I have read hare is different, is it even gamier?

I have never really understood what people mean by gamy. We really liked the snowshoe hare at first. We were really broke and my DH was running a snare line, so the snowshoe hare only cost some time and snare wire. It was almost the only meat we ate that winter.

I was raised eating domestic animals and fish, not eating venison, etc. My parents were raised in less affluent circumstances and didn't mind it. When I was a kid, my dad fished but didn't hunt and we lived on the coast, so we ate a lot of seafood. That's my preferred protein. I tried wild game but it doesn't suit my tastes much.

 

[In A Pickle]

Gimme all of it!

 

[taxlady]

I was in a fancy resto with my parents and they ordered some sort of wild bird, maybe duck. I had a taste and thought it was gross. My mum said that was the fancy "wild" taste. Yuck. I didn't grow up eating game either. The only time (while I was living with my parents) I remember eating an animal that had been caught in the wild was when we met some Swedes on vacation and they had caught crayfish. That was delicious. Hmm, I was just thinking about the hare. The problem with that might have been how lean it is. I found visible fat on one, once. There might have been as much as the volume of a pea. It was a very cold winter, so fat was something we were absolutely craving.

But, when I lived in the country we ate all sorts of stuff. There was venison, both deer and moose, there was porcupine, grouse, and we had bear at the home of some friends at Winter Solstice, and of course the snowshoe hares. I enjoyed all of those. I also learned that I really, really dislike freshwater fish.
