I'm right handed as well. That's also my stronger arm, from jobs scooping ice cream when I was a teenager.
What is your dominant hand?

My whole family is right handed, but I think my brother was ambidextrous as a child. He would switch hands all the time. My parents never pushed him to be right handed, so I would assume that he ended up just mimicking us and that's why he only uses his right hand now.

I'm a rightie but I'd love to be able to use both equally.

I'm right handed so that means I normally use my computer mouse with my right hand. Since I do enjoy surfing the adult side of the internet, I learned to masturbate left-handed. It took a while but sexually, I am ambidextrous

I am left-handed. The only thing that I do predominantly with my right hand (that I can think of) is use a pair of scissors.

I write and do most things with my left hand. But I usually cut with my right because I was taught to. And I can't stand left handed things for the most part. I was in Elementary in the 90's and my teacher still hated the lefties and tried to teach us otherwise.

I do everything right handed. I can't even think of one activity that my left arm is dominant in.
Hmm..
Hmm..

I am a leftie. I never use any of that left handed stuff either. I can't figure it out! So I only use right handed stuff.
Now my father was a leftie to begin with. But then he kept getting hit in school to use his right hand. Now he uses both.

My left hand is my dominant hand. Even when typing my left hand moves across the keys on the keyboard faster and more easily than my right hand does.

I just saw that this came back up and a smart arse comment popped into my head...so of course I'm sharing it.
My dominant hand is the one that keeps my other hand in line.

The only thing I do with my left hand is shoot pool. That said, whenever I fall, I instinctively use my left rather than my right hand to brace myself.

I am right-handed, but I used to be able to do things passably with my left hand. Not so much anymore..
02/17/2011
I write and hold my cigarette in my left hand, I literally use my right hand to do everything else. (I'm left eye dominant, also.)
02/17/2011
I'm completely right-handed. I don't use my left for much. I have given a couple of handjobs, but they were not nearly as effective as using my right hand. Definitely can't write with my left, either.
02/17/2011
I'm definitely right handed but of course always end up shaking it up a bit.
02/17/2011
I am so right-handed, my left is only there to keep me balanced so I don't fall over.

Make a circle with your thumb and 1st finger
Hold out your arm and focus on an object inside the circle
Close one eye, then the other
The object will stay in the circle for your dominant eye and move out of the circle of your weaker eye
pretty easy! less

Just for fun I tried it again using just my fingers. Oddly my target was the heart on v-day card from my wife! When I put the cleavage of the heart in the middle and closed one eye at a time the upper lobe of each side appeared. So when I closed my right eye I could only see the left lobe - just exactly what you described!
Our eyes are amazing - you may not even have a dominant eye!

I am apparently eye ambidextrous. When I focus on the object inside the circle I actually see two overlapping images of my hand. As long I keep both eyes open, the object stays in the circle of my fingers. When I close one eye, the object is far to the side of the circle.

At least that's what happens when I focus on an object somewhat close to me. When I focus on an object farther away, I see two separate images of my hand and have to decide which one I want to use to circle the object. The hand that I am "seeing" with my left eye does seem slightly more apparent than the hand that I am "seeing" with my right eye. So I suppose my left eye is slightly more dominant. Strange since I am right handed.
Though I may have been one of those lefties that were forced to become right handed. I have vague memories of preschool teachers telling me not to use my left hand to do things. There are certain things that I do better with my left hand than my right.
I just recently realized that when I thread my sewing machine that I use my left hand to do it. I've apparently been doing it for years and simply hadn't noticed. I learned to sew in college, so I guess there was no one there to tell me not to use my left hand.

I'm right handed, but tend to use the mouse with my left. Of course, that may be because it's another thing I learned to do as an adult when there was no one there to tell me not to use my left hand.

Alicia's right about the mouse thing - we're 'ambies' on computers since we can use the mouse with the right but still write notes with the left! less

It might also have to do with the fact that there is more room to use my mouse on the left side of my computer.

I don't do anything with my left arm, except use it to hand things to my right arm. Because of this, I have a noticeable difference in arm size and ability. :/
I can, however, type single handed with either hand. I think that just comes along with spending hours upon hours on the computer, even during meals.
As for eyes, neither is dominant, they're both terrible and I have to focus with both eyes to read most things.

right handed.

I was somewhat tempted to say both, because both of my hands are dominant.

Oh how I would love to be ambidextrous
07/21/2011
I'm right handed, but I do some things with my left (like use my computer's mouse at work). I tried to teach myself to become ambidextrous in college by opening to the back of my notebook and writing with my left hand during boring classes. I didn't get anything but horrible written, random messages from it!
