Having a favourite spatula is a bit worrying in and of itself, no?
Not if you are a teppanyaki master.

Not sure where/if I fit in. Born a lefty, broke my left arm at 4.5, so started using my right and it became dominant. I still do a few things better with my left, including dealing cards-which usually warrants a few of these:and another one

I think that goes along with everyone having a favorite burner on their stove, whether they admit it or not.Having a favourite spatula is a bit worrying in and of itself, no?
STILL?! I started as a lefty but was forced into right handedness because "I didn't want to be different" when I hit school. Now that was in the late 50's early 60's. Once a teacher tried that on my younger daughter and we had a loud one sided conversation and I changed to a more progressive school. Nothing gets my hackles up or grumps me more than forced change or compliance. She thanks me to this day. She is my jewel. Maybe I will post a photo she won a National Arts competition with. All because Mom & Dad let her be "Different"Some teachers make left handed kids learn to write right handed. It went on when I was a kid, it is still going on today. This sort of forced change social engineering doesn’t sit well with me. Square pegs shouldn’t be forced into a round hole.
But not Laphoraig (shudders). Tastes like a burning hospital. Whew!Or Glenfiddich, or Glenmorangie.![]()

My 'bitter half' liked some sorta blended scotch. I tried it-hated it. Many mango seasons later, I hesitantly tried a single malt(Glenfiddich maybe?)@ WDW "Food & Wine Festival". OMG! All the years I hadn't known. I'm slowly trying to make up for lost opportunities.But not Laphoraig (shudders). Tastes like a burning hospital. Whew!

Attention GOFs
this is not a drill
Thank you so much. You have made an old who attended the shows at the Fillmore, Fillmore West, and Winterland every Sunday very nostalgic. Now that was a group of Grumpy Old Farts! Jack sure could make that Epiphone sing. It is too bad that Jorma is the only one left.

My oldest grandson (now 14) was ambidextrous as a toddler. No one said anything to him about which hand to use. He settled on his own as a lefty around 5 years old.STILL?!
