That would make yours, “I tend to post things to the wrong threads.”

I can simultaneously write left to right _and_ mirror image. Legibly.

Well if we’re going to talk about handedness, I’m the most sinister person in the world. Left handed, left eyed (I’m a photographer, I don’t think I could take a decent picture with my right eye), left eared (I get very disoriented if I have to hold the phone to my right ear), left footed judging buy my less then illustruse kickball career.

And yet I bat (when forced to) right, and play bass right. And seem perfectly natural.

Oh and it also seems perfectly natural to me that a left handed person would leave their mouse up to the weaker hand.

My hands area zillion shades darker than the rest of my body, due to differential tanning.

I have four different hair textures on my head, which makes going to the salon very interesting.

I have had a white spot on my right eyebrow since I was fifteen.

The ring finger on my left hand is somewhat out-of-joint, and is the only finger I can snap particularly well.

Doug! You old son of a one!

I have worn glasses since I was fourteen months old. That’s over 62 years now. I can remember at least three things that happened when I was two years old including V-J Day. I remember trying to figure out what the word _war_ meant. My best guess was _party_.

I wear a size 4 wedding ring. It was a size 8.5 when I married.

I’m left footed. (When I speedskated, I started left-footed. I also kick a ball left footed.)

I can put my tongue on the back of my throat and upward well past the uvula. I’m not sure what it touches! Also on that note, I have a really long tongue!

I can move my lower eyelids sideways.

I’m the only member of my family who can’t roll his tongue and doesn’t have a ring around his eyes.

Are you a raccoon?

I can interlace all my toes if I turn my feet so the insteps touch. I can clap with my feet in that position, also.

**What Christmas presents are you making this year?  
Have you ever gotten counterfeit money?**

No, but I know what I’m making for Christmas presents this year.

Note to self: Don’t just use cnt+F to find “Sequential.” READ the thread title first. :smack:
