    Thinking about "the talk" that's happening tonight...

    This letter I just got

    This is priceless. She is keeping them alive and they are keeping her alive. Indeed a beautiful living tribute to your daughter and I hope you get to meet these four people one day!
  • My kindergartener has a tendency to write some letters backwards which was frustrating him a little last night

    I actually found out that lefties, are more prone to writing letters backwards, and he is in fact a lefty...

    So before bed we had the coolest conversation about how, Mozart, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendricks and Kurt Cobain, were all left handed, may have struggled in the same way, and yet... Went on to write some of the greatest music the world has ever heard!

    Then I told him Luke Skywalker was left handed and it's believed that Iron man and Boba Fett may actually be left handed as well...

    His little mind was thoroughly blown and I feel like a pretty good father right now

    I can vouch for this lefty problem... I can also vouch that this is good dadding

    I'm a leftie too and I vividly remember my teacher slapping me on the back of my hand for making letters backwards. Not a good first impression of school teacher!

    Now I'm curious how many of the lefties here had dyslexia as children like I did. It wasn't just letters; it was whole sentences that were backwards. My K teacher thought I was playing a cruel joke on her without realizing that to me, those sentences I was writing appeared correct.

    How are these new people coming out of the wood work to respond to just that one thread?

    I once tried using my left hand; it didn't end well.

    How it should just go back to little kids riding bikes and delivering the newspaper because the lazy dumbs hit adults they hire to do it (who don't) is absolutely ridiculous. :angry:

    That ain't right

    Tell me about.

    I had to write a sizable check to cover the decontamination costs.

    I am a lefty and had the same issue as a kid. I got it sorted out eventually. It kinda makes sense when you think about it, you try to copy a right handed person doing something but you have to flip the movement around, when a righty is pulling the pencil towards them and lefty has to push.

    They claim lefty's are smarter, I think this might just be due to needing to adapt at a younger age.

    Also, if you ever need more ammo:
    https://www.bustle.com/articles/104025-which-us-presidents-were-left-handed-a-salute-to-our-southpaws-in-chief feel free to add 4legs to the list too ;)

    These two are lefties... OK now I'm hella jelly!

    I showed him the smells like teen spirit video... He was like OMG!! It rocked his little world hard :lol:

    Albert Einstein
    Charles Darwin
    Leonardo Di Vinci
    Napoleon
    And Bobby Fischer

    All left handed

    I'm a lefty too!

    As clever as you are brother, I'm not surprised!

    @4legsRbetterthan2 Now I know what you mean about getting friend requests while pulling welcoming committee duty. I don't want to seem rude, but I also view it how Veterans treat new recruits. I don't want to get to know them if they're not going to last.

    see, I am not totally full of it

    soo...if you comment on someones profile, and they answer back on your profile...do you answer back on theirs, or do u answer ur own? o_O

    Haha. Excellent question! It's pretty frustrating when they write a response meant for you on their own wall.
    Can we all agree that it's proper for you to respond on their wall, under your own original comment?

    I think you are supposed get push notifications if someone comments on a post you comment on, but sounds like alot of the push notifications are messed up right now

    I'm just a huge fan of social protocol. Sometimes I worry that if I were a character on Star Wars that I'd be C-3PO, and that's so lame.

    Companies pay good money for that information. Why would you give that away?

    My mother really hurt my feelings earlier today. We were supposed to go mattress shopping today and she says to me “I hope you live long enough to enjoy your new bed” I’ve gained over 50lbs in the last year and she’s been making a lot of these type of comments. My uncle (her brother) died in his sleep from morbid obesity when I was a kid, so I understand why she’s concerned, but these type of remarks make feel like SH$!&! Like it’s not helping my issues with emotional eating. I feel bad enough as it is.

    The super scrumptious banana bread I just finished making. I seriously want to eat the whole loaf, but I made it to share and mostly give to my kid, so.. I must refrain.

    Why are there so many Texas threads? Is this a magical place I should consider moving to?

    Only if you want to snorkel in the humidity.

    I live in the humidity now this would be a downgrade for me. Tahiti sounds much better. :wink:
