To this day I turn writing paper 90 degrees because of the nuns and my being left handed (side of the devil!! :lol: :roll:) My Kindergarten teacher would turn my paper so it would be harder to write...so that I would switch to writing with my right hand. I adapted instead and write sideways now.

Hand of the devil..... uhhh okay .... myth...but with real consequences because the church is NUTTY!
So is that why so many lefties write with their paper sideways, and their hands twisted upside down?! I lucked out! My mom, who experienced knuckle beatings for being a leftie (in the public school system, not religious or otherwise private), taught me to write with the paper turned so that it was comfortable for my left hand to write on, and the result was my learning to write with my left hand straight. :mrgreen:

Yepper, my situation exactly.... 9 o'clock. I do write quite a bit however...:lol:

Now on a chalkboard, I can write both left and right equally well. Huh...

Eat left
sports right
writing left
wanking left :lol:
strong arm right

They messed me up!! :lol:

Heck, I've got tons of stories from my Catholic days. I went and did hard time with old school Polish nuns. Tough ol birds and when the Polish flew out of their mouths, you knew the hands weren't far behind!

And those mofo black ballet type slippers they wore..... sneak up on you like the Viet Cong!

Bitches!! :lol:
Switch the wanking hand, and we're tied. :lol:

My dad's family was full of old school Polish Catholics, who desperately tried to get my mom to put me in Catholic school. She adamantly refused... she had this "strange" concept of raising me to explore the world and my surroundings, and make my own choices. I love her!

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT SCISSORS??????????????

Who decided that right-handed people get their own special scissors that the rest of us can't use????

end of thread-jackbongsmilie
OH, the fight for the measly four pair of left-handed scissors in grammar school was unreal! I finally gave up the battle, and just made myself get used to right-handed cutting. I couldn't use leftie scissors now to save my life. :lol:

Kumbaya...

:leaf::peace::leaf:
Thanks for putting that song in my head! :roll: ;)

what ? Kat, you too? I'm a lefty myself. :mrgreen: and I could never cut with the rightie scissors:cuss: always used my left hand and squeezed the bladess of the scissors with my right, works for me. as far as wanking goes, I got more than enough room for 2 hands so I use 2 at one time:D just cause I can:eyesmoke:

Yes Kat.... I think that is why. My parents finally stepped in to stop the pressure from the nuns about my being left handed.

I won't say the discipline didn't help me out later in life....but the penguins were a bit crazy. :lol:

All of my teachers during my formative years would be locked up today for their behavior.

That usually always helped the remedial students I knew back in grammar school. That's how it was done. If you couldn't get the idea, the teacher had you write it out.

Try that.

Food for thought: Take your own advice and utilize throughly. :clap:
If incapable, I'll break it down even further. :wink:

Sorry but your post seems to contradict itself...maybe it's just me??? There is just ONE of you...right?

Sounds like religion
Really?
Bad Excuse
See above
see...we can talk about it...religion screws that up
Sounds like religion
Only novel outside of the dogma...Sounds like eastern religions...nobody kills for the Buddha!

:leaf::peace::leaf:


Exactly which part of once you factor out religion, man will always find reasons to be at opposition with one another did you not get?
Vietnam and Japan serve as just two countries whereas Buddhism is a dominant faith....peace abounding, eh?
In answer to your question........yes, there is just ONE of "me" that is openly admitting to believing in God.
OH THE SHAME. :fire:

I've never seen you use anything approaching reason yet.
"Dear, dear" Morgen.....from one who snapped and called me a CUNT "simply" for noting the real FACT that so many are trying on homosexuality for reasons of being en vogue------NOT because it is an inate trait, you are quite the one to reference "reason.":D

BTW, the absolute ONLY person I have EVER heard the word CUNT come from their mouth is a gay man..PERIOD, POINT BLANK......and I rest my case. :mrgreen:

The discipline did not help you C*J...do not be deluded. :sad:

I WISH I could believe in a god. How comforting religion must be. To feel belonging and security and to have it all explained...

Braggart! :lol: See, that statement coming from a woman just wouldn't sound right. ;)

..I always thought most lefties wrote this way as to not smear the fresh writing.
Nah, I write with the top of the paper pointing to about 2 o'clock, and my hand is completely below the fresh ink. I've always thought that the paper turned bassackwards and holding the hand twisted on top of the writing is what would smear it.

What FACT is that, Babs? I've yet to meet anyone "trying on homosexuality" because it is "en vogue" or for any reason other than it is their preference. The fact that homosexuality is slightly more acceptable than it used to be in society indeed would factor into more people doing what feels right and good to them instead of what "societal norm" deems proper, as well as being honest about it to others. Having the courage to be oneself is a far cry from being trendy. How is it "en vogue" to be hated and ridiculed (or worse) by others, and told marriage is impossible due to one's "en vogue" lifestyle, etc.?

RE: calling others "cunt"... if you've never heard this from anyone but a gay man, then your life must have been lived very sheltered. I've heard it come from more mouths than I'd like to have heard (not always directed at me :lol:), male and female mouths both; the vast majority of them hetero.

Well Kat, your situation at hand is yours.....mine is what has been dealt. I have NEVER EVER been called a cunt by any single person "other than" a gay man----has nothing to do with being raised in a sheltered life.....this I can honestly ASSURE you. That is a very derrogatory word used to express hatred towards a woman. Your typical heterosexual man will use terms such as "bitch, slut, whore".........NOT CUNT. I grew up with a gay brother Kat, and along with that, his gay friends......very much a derrogatory statement via the gay man........I have noted it all too many times. AGAIN, NEVER heard it from ANY man other than a gay man......and again, positively nothing to do with a sheltered life........anything but.
And I do mean, ANYTHING but.
I see how it is so easy to misread, yet at the same time, I can't argue your choice of words here---"trying on homosexuality"....it's REAL Kat. There is an enormous growth with that expermental factor...I have PERSONALLY witnessed it all too many times for it to NOT be noted. I have had SO many female "friends" or "aquantenaces" who were otherwise straight just suddenly try on being a lesbian for size......often for the sake of pleasing their male partner................sometimes for shock value among family members.........but RARELY, if EVER, because it was their INATE belief that the same sex was FOR THEM.

BTW, ever met a gay man that didn't have embedded issues with their mother? Dig deep. I don't make references to my growing up with ONE gay brother, but by speaking with NUMEROUS gay men.
