International Left-Handers Day!

[icyfroth]

 August 13 is an annual “holiday” that not only celebrates lefties, and raises awareness about the numerous struggles and difficulties left-handed people face in a right-handed world. 

The annual event is marked by various left-handed parties and events all over the world.

Southpaws Day

Despite the challenges of living in a right-handed world, many famous Southpaws have excelled in their profession.

Hands up all lefties here.

My hand is up Icy


Doesn't look as if there are many of us around here

[mugssy65]

I'm married to a lefty and we have a lefty son!
I have two sets of twin nieces, one on OHs side one on mine, in each set one twin is a lefty one twin is a righty!

You're lucky Mugssy, I am the only one in my entire family, all alone & left handed.

[azureline**]

In our family, all my children are right handed (youngest uses both hands) as are their spouses....... 2 of my grandaughters (cousins to each other) are left handed.

My eldest brother is left handed (but he has no right hand) and my younger brother is a lefty.

OH's 2 sisters are left handed.

Puts up left hand.

Well enjoy your day and save those left hand rubber gloves for a right hander, Deb

I'm currently reading a book "Her Perfect Symmetry" by Audrey Nieffenegger. It features a set mirror image identical twins. One is right-handed the other is left. One has her organs all standard, the other has everything on the right, and has a few medical problems.

That's as far as I am.

Lol, I'd forgotten about those gloves.

Makes you realize how lucky you are when you read about people like that Icy, poor things, what must their lives be like
