I made those no-bake cookies for which someone posted the recipe a few months ago. They’re good, but are they ever rich. They’re like chunks of sugar, basically.
Mr. Rilch poured himself some cola at dinner. The foam rose straight up, above the rim of the glass, and subsided without spilling over. Isn’t it cool when that happens?
I’m left-eyed. But I’m right-handed. Wonder how (un)usual that is.
The way I understand it, being right eyed and left handed, or the reverse, is a sign of brain damage. Perhaps that explains your attraction to the Boards!! I wonder if it is a common occurance among posters. If not, it should be.

It is, however, a minimal qualification for reaching 1000 posts.
Don’t even ask about 2000.
I hit 1000 in 4 months. Does that make me REALLY brain dead?
I’m right-handed and left-eyed. I don’t think I’m brain-damaged, but you never know.
I’m currently on hold with the IRS to see if they’ll ever send me the money they say they owe me from a mistake I made on my 1997 tax return. The IRS frightens me, and I’m half convinced that they’re going to laugh at me and keep the money. And then send imposing men in business suits out to my apartment and reposess my roommate’s cats.
I’m right-handed and left-eyed, too! Who knew that there were so many of us, uh, whateveryacallit, people in the world.
It rained all afternoon & I’ve got a cold. I feel like whining but there is nobody home except my son and he’s asleep. He goes to bed a 7 pm. People look at me like I’m nuts when I tell them this, but what else are you going to do with a child who refuses to sleep any later than 6 am (and that’s on a good day). And yes, I have tried keeping him up, he just wakes up at the same time in a very grouchy mood.
I’m right handed (although my children are generally amphibious) but how do I determine my “eyedness”? I tend to use them both (my eyes) at the same time and they almost always point in the same direction while I’m using them.
I lost an important scrap of paper some time last week. (Maybe I was looking at it with the wrong eye!) I had kept it tucked away in a safe place for six months and yesterday, when I needed it, it wasn’t there. It was there the week before, but it’s gone now. It was silly lyrics to a song I was going to sing on Wednesday and I thought I’d better copy them over to my computer before I lost the scrap of paper. Too late! Too late! Alas, too late!
p.s. Swimmles, I didn’t say brain dead, only damaged. Find a good mental health webpage. Lookup obsessive-compulsive disorder. Then wash your hands fifty times and check to be sure the door is locked and the stove is off one hundred times before posting again.
(Ha! You couldn’t do it, could you?!! You had to post, didn’t you?!! Try this. Take a deep breath. Empty your mind. Uh-uh – no fair! Take your hands off the keyboard. Now say the following sentence in your mind ten times: “Every day and in every way, I’m getting better and better.” Do this every time you feel an uncontrollable urge to post. You’re thinking of posting right now, arent’ you? Stop. Count to ten. Say the mantra. Relax. That’s it. Hey! Stop!! What are you doing? You’ll regret it!! Oh, too late!)

Well, this is post 999 for me. I’m going out to fax my resume (hope hope hope) and my first post in the evening will be 1000! Woohoo!
Right-eye dominant, left handed – me too!
PLUTO sez:
Uh, pluto, sweet, your kids may be ambidextrous (able to use both hands well), but they’ll probably not amphibious (able to live both on land and in water). Though maybe they’re that too. 
Instead of teasing, I should answer your question, but I’ll leave that to someone else. (Read: I don’t know the answer.)
And I would cop to being brain-damaged so far as my handedness is concerned. I have no ability to translate a demonstration of a task by a right-handed person into an understanding of how I, a left-handed person, could do the same thing. In other words, if you show me how to do something but you do it right-handed (and I mean, anything, even simple things, like using scissors), I will not be able to process how I could do the same activity left-handed. Not if you demonstrate it a hundred times. I have to figure out how to do it myself. Which means I do many things, from writing to chopping vegetables, in my own crazy bass-ackwards way.
Rilchiam, good luck with your résumé? What kind of job are you looking for? Do you need us to send unsolicited recommendation letters to your potential employers saying how wonderful you are?
I’m looking for an entry level job in accounting, Arnold. I had what I thought was a successful interview last week, but I haven’t heard back. :mad:. I wanted to fax my resume to yet another employment agency, but I can’t yet. I don’t have a printer, and there’s something wrong with my floppy drive, so I can’t save my resume and print it out somewhere else. I’ll have to go to Kinko’s, recreate the resume, print it out, and then fax it. Sigh…
