Hi @croemer!

I never knew either why the spoiler would appear out of the blue! But the other day I think I figured it out-instead of clicking on the emojis, I clicked on the yellow face thing just to the left of it.

And then to get rid of it, I deleted it like I would a word by clicking on the backspace.

Lefty for most things but I play all sports right handed but kick with my left............and scissors only with my right hand. My hubby is a lefty tried and true. Cannot use scissors at all. He is challenged.

Another lefty here. My brother and sister are lefties, also, but our parents were righties. I'm ambidextrous with most things but write only with my left hand. My late husband always knew when I used an extension cord in the garage because I coiled it up opposite to the way he did it as a righty, lol!

@Seminole2,

I always did not like cutting with scissors from elementary school on until I got left handed scissors! Now it doesn't bother me

Me, too! It was tough when I was young. The teachers kept trying to punish me for writing with my left and tried to switch me to right. My mother had to come to school and straighten them out!

Plus, I felt it was harder using scissors, learning to tie shoes, etc.

I am very left-handed! I do everything with my left hand and struggle with my right!

Me too! I can't do anything right handed. I read that only about 10% of leftys are entirely left handed. Most do some things right handed. I guess we're in that 10%.

I'm left handed too. I use my right for scissors, ironing, chopping with a chefs knife. A few weeks ago I woke up and had lost the use of my left arm. It has been so difficult without it. Fortunately I have regained a lot of function with some deficit still in my hand.

Scissors and knives especially. Spatulas....thank god I've got a left handed one. Sports was an advantage especially if you throw balls. Leftys in tennis is an advantage too. There are left handed notebooks available, but I never got one.
