I try to convince myself that this somehow makes me talented in some way!

I can do the same thing and everyone thinks it's weird!!  I thought I was the only one.  I can write with both hands and can write with one hand normal and the other backwards or both backwards.  Maybe you can do the same if you try.  I tried to write with my left hand when a coworker broke her hand and couldn't write.  Oddly, it was really easy for me.

I have at least 97% auditory recall.  If you say it to me I’ll be able to repeat it verbatim months later.

Been trying to find a good income producing use for it for years.  Nada.

I enjoy cooking, baking, and any housekeeping things!  I totally enjoy a neat, clean home..   I have always been organized and learned at a early age the importance of a clean home BUT the one thing I love is ironing! I even have a new Rowenta in my guest closet just in case the one I use daily stops working😯.  The friends I have think I'm a little OCD because I always make my bed, clean my bathroom everyday when I get out of shower,etc.

Yes, I've "tried" a cleaning service ...I cleaned before they came🙄.  Crazy!

Something else I enjoy is helping someone who needs it.  I like to be there if someone needs a ride, doctors appt., grocery shopping.  Two ladies I know no longer drive I call them Monday's or weekend to see if they need to go somewhere or need anything.  If I see a elderly person "struggling" to reach item in store -- I ask if they need help OR if I see a elderly person that needs help I ask them.   It was the way I was raised to help others.

And lastly, being retired I enjoy my alone days.  Spouse golfs 4-5 days a week.  Those days I enjoy my  country radio station and puttering, cooking or doing something at home.

My home is my "happy place" which of course, would be wondeful if my family & gd were closer

@Mistic  When I read your post, I though you were refering to the soap opera, "All My Children".  

My fun fact is that I started watching that show in 1971 and watched it until it went off the air.  Would catch it during lunch in the breakroom and then had a DVR to watch after dinner.   Still miss that show~and I went to high school with one of the actresses on there, whose drama teacher told her in high school that she would never make it in acting...she later won an emmy.

I can do this also!  I always thought everyone could and was surprised to learn that's not true.

I am right handed but do some things that are innate left only.

I may have been taught to use my right hand - everything I do is a rightiy

I breathe on my left side when swimming 

I steer lefthanded easily on a bike - but NOT the right hand

[Citrine1]

@Yahooey  I am also right handed, but play the guitar like a lefty!

Although I haven't actually stopped to figure it out, I "think" I'm a step cousin to myself.....Later in life after the spouses of my grandparents had passed away, my Dad's mom married my Mom's dad.
