My uncle was truly ambidextrous. That helped his recovery enormously when he had a stroke and lost the use of his right side,

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you call it a reboot if it has most of the same cast members and follows on from the first series?
I do not, I think of a reboot as starting over. Leverage:Redemption is more like a sequel?
Nine-nine! I still haven't watched last night's episode - I have really gotten out of the prime time TV habit. I am both kinda sad but sort of pleased at the choice to make this the last season. Savoring each episode is clearly in order.
I'm right handed but my mother was left handed and taught me how to do things like tying my shoes, so I tend to be an odd blend on how I do things. I write right handed, but if I'm using tools switch back and forth pretty fluidly. This is helpful when I'm soldering, I switch hands without really thinking about it.

There were 2 episodes last night, so: bonus!

I think it's going to be two every week, which good news/bad news....
I could switch mousing hands easy enough, but never could write well with my left hand.
Do righties usually mouse with their right hands? I think I started using a mouse when I was temping and, as a lefty, it wasn't worth rearranging things. It does mean I can write and mouse at the same time! Just one more way lefties have to adapt to the right-centric world!
I've gotten so used to the trackpad in the middle of the laptop I don't remember how I mouse. I think it's on the right. I'm super awkward when I try to do anything with my left hand, but I did learn to sweep left-handed because (so the theory goes) my great-grandmother was left-handed and she taught my grandmother and my mother how to sweep and mom taught me. I think there was some other random sporty thing that I didn't even realize had a dominant hand that I do left-handed but I don't remember what it was.
I have nerve damage (Erb's Palsy, from birth) in my right shoulder, so I've become left-handed for some things that I assume I would have been right handed for. I still write right (though I can write left, because it was a goal in middle school; it's painfully slow and not as neat), but for everything else, I kinda have to try it and discover which way feels correct.
My grandfather was a lefty, but the nuns tied his arm to his chair so he wouldn't use it. The end result was he used his right hand for anything he learned at school (writing) and his left for anything he learned at home (using a knife). This included sports - he was a righty batter but a lefty golfer.
And I play guitar lefty (well, "play"). Even though my right hand/arm is strong enough, reaching over the body of the guitar to strum or pick is just not an angle I can do, for whatever reason. But reaching up to the frets, no problem. So, Paul McCartney, the Muppets, and me - that there is some illustrious company.
