How many of you can do this?

I'd like to learn how to throw left-handed, as I throw right-handed, and always have, even thought I write left-handed.
 
Many people do that, especially if they're driving a 5-speed truck or car. My Dad drives a semi, so he's required to know how to do that.
 
I guess when it comes to pitching you need to get used to your left arm. At first the throws may seem pretty lame. but it will get better. I just had to learn to rely on my left side. Just remember that pitching requires the whole body not just your arm.
 
For soccer I play with my left foot as main, but I'm right handed. I can eat with both hands (no problems) and I can sign with both hands, but I do fingerspelling better on my left than right.
 
I used to play baseball, but completely blew out my knee nearly 10 years ago, and can no longer play due to the extremely high risk of major injury. The reason why I want to learn how to throw left-handed is because my Dad and I were playing ringers last summer, and my left-handed throw was terrible.
 
I can also eat with both hands, but my go-to foot for soccer when I was able to play was my right one, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why.
 
I used to play baseball too...and while I may sounds concided I was a frekaing awosme pitcher, not much good at the bat. Now I cant play anymore. I am not sure if I can od swimming either. I will have to see with time if I can.
 
I woule compete and won some medals for swimming. But i sont see any of those things coming in the near future.
 
I don't see competitive swimming happening for me... I badly tore my shoulder the same year I blew out my knee, and that shoulder has been nothing but a problem since then, but for the most part, I can put up with it. However, if I were offered a chance to do competitive bicycle racing using my bicycles, I just might accept, but I doubt I would be able to handle that kind of high stakes, and quite frankly, I'd rather keep my knee from tearing again.
 
I mainly use my right hand. But have never found the left completely unusable.

The first major use I made of the left was when my small desk at work had an extension added that made it easier to get to a ten key adding machine (I know I am also kinda telling my age) with my left. Later I went back to using the right more. Then another gal who was left handed came to work and was using the right for an adding machine. I went back to using my left because of the convenience of running the machine with the left and never putting down the pencil used to write the answers on paper. Was doing it by touch with either hand rather than looking at the keys. When one of the guys saw us and we told him the idea behind it he tried it but it did not work for him.

I am not sure just when I started putting part of my eye makeup on with the left and part with the right.

I make and decorate cookies. The icing is put on with a very small artist's brush and I find myself putting by far most of that on with the left.

I could probably learn to write with the left but have never made much of an attempt.

I can eat using either hand.
 
I'm ambidextrous... Something's I do more right or left though

I write right handed usually
Paint and draw usually with two hands
Sign with both equally as comfortably.
Snowboard, golf, archery, kicking left
 
Sorry for my delay in answering. When I read this, I was half-asleep, and went KO, and just woke up a couple of hours ago, and fully awake now. Anyways... that's interesting. Some people can do it, but most can't.
