I don't see what is special about this. Who can't write upside-down?

[hoskeebo]

Maybe you don't see because you haven't noticed that most people can't write upside-down.

It's more important to see the situation for what it is, than to just want to make a snide comment.

[kmigs1991]

you had dots on the page already to help you

[hoskeebo]

Well, that explains it then.

Actually, no. Those dots were there from practicing on previous pages, when some ink dripped through. They were not intentional and not used at all as a guide.

Thanks for being suspicious, though.

dont flatter your self

[hoskeebo]

How exactly am I flattering myself? Jeez, people who can't spell, and know no grammar are really fond of putting other people down, aren't they?

If this can bring others together, make them think, or simply entertain, that is my goal. Apparently none of that worked for you.

A college professor told me 'being ambidextrous would have been considered a learning disability' when I was in school.

Strange that I always thought it was pretty cool! If college taught him that, I'm glad to have not gone to college.

When I write left handed, I do not write over the letters or crook my hand, as I've seen other left handers do. I hold the pen/pencil the same way left handed as I do right handed -- the only difference is each has their own tilt.

@hoskeebo dude how the hell did you do that

[hitmankiddo]

@hoskeebo most of us can,but it just take a longer time

[TOGGI3]

[j4ckyb01]

[dustinmarx10]

Rhett,

I'm with you there, pal!

[AstrexRabbits]

Well... writing "weird" requires quite a bit of "brain concentration" and using both sides of the brain I think...LOL But then again, it amazes me that some people don't even use one side of their brains much of the time it seems...Rett

[galonia3000]

[b94kw]
