 DS>> Correct...and it was in 3 of my 4 ham radio callsigns. I was
 DS>> originally N5VLZ in 1991...then changed to AE5WX in 2009, then to
 DS>> WX1DER in 2012, then to WX4QZ on my 59th birthday this year.
 NB>> Yes I knew about those...  :)
 DS> You're a smart woman. :)
 NB>> What snide remarks...?  You are but a youngster...  <G>  Will you keep
 NB>> the new call sign at that point...?

 DS> Oh, definitely. The snide remark was for "69"...which can be
 DS> construed as a sexually oriented term.

Ah.... that.... <G>

 NB>> While I'm somewhat right-handed, I can do many things left-handed,
 NB>> including using left-handed scissors to cut with... so, truly
 NB>> ambidextrous...  ;)  My dad was a lefty, a couple of sisters are
 NB>> lefties, and a brother is a lefty who considers himself ambisinstrous as
 NB>> he can do many things almost as well with his right hand... :)

 DS> Then, you have the jokes about left handed scissors, hammers, etc. <G> 

Left-handed hammers aren't really any different.... but the scissors
definitely are a different tool....  Just like the regular scissors
won't cut if you try to use them in your left hand, the lefty ones don't
work if you try to use them in your right hand.... I've used both of
them.... ;)

 NB>> The sticklers...  But I agree, it shouldn't really matter as long as you
 NB>> are able to write with it... ;)

 DS> Isn't that what a writing utensil is for??

That's the theory, anyway.... <G>

 DS> But, the late George Carlin was right. If the #2 pencil is so
 DS> popular, why is it still #2??

Because the #1 is too hard, and doesn't write well.. ;)  Has nothing at
all to do with superiority.... ;)

ttyl        neb

.... Never face facts; if you do you'll never get up in the morning!
