Yay! I'm not clumsy and graceless. I'm cross dominated.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Right-handed and left-eye dominant. But I don't think I'm exceptionally clumsy.
Haven't checked out my face yet. There's only so many things one can do in the office without attracting undue attention.

If you google "eye dominance," you'll see there's considerable debate about the clumsy thing and an interesting study that indicates that people with cross dominance may be better hitters, but worse pitchers.

I'm right handed and right-eye dominant, but I have poor vision in my right eye.
I had this for most of my life, until I had the cataract surgery on the right eye, which left me with the nearsighted left & farsighted right combo I have now.
The first six or so weeks after the surgery my depth perception was totally out of whack, and I injured myself repeatedly. I'm much better now, but still on the clumsy side.

After years of glasses and contacts, my depth perception got better. It never got good, though. That's why I'm the one backing up really slowly while people are yelling "You've got at least three feet back there."

And I'm off. To get the hair colored. The gray has got to go.
Here's hoping I don't trip down the stairs.

Question for the hive mind: anyone used Zicam Swabs? I'm trying to decide if I want to get some and force Pete to use them, because not only does he not need to get sick while in the final two (hellish) weeks of his current deadline, but *I* am not up to coping with him getting sick during a deadline.

I think they work, Jilli. But mostly, I've used lozenges.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jilli, my Mother swears by blowing a hot hair dryer into your mouth and nose for a few minutes several times a day to ward off an oncoming cold.

raises eyebrows
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to convince Pete to do that. If I somehow do, I promise to take pictures.
