I never got this. I am so left-handed it isn't funny, but I am everything on the left-side in spades.
Can any psychology people explain why the brain's expression of these traits are not a cis/trans thing rather than right/left.
26803. arkymalarky - 2/18/2012 6:54:08 PM Before I have a migraine I have visual auras on the opposite side. They're always on the left, headache always on the right since I was a teen. I'm left handed too. All that stuff confuses me no end. 26804. wabbit - 2/19/2012 4:42:50 PM I have a vague recollection of reading a recent report that says the left/right brain thing as far as personality traits goes is largely baloney. Wish I could remember where I saw that. I am right-handed, but I would fall smack dab in the middle of the descriptions in the ad - some, but not all, of each side. Just like most people, I suspect. 26805. thoughtful - 2/21/2012 3:42:27 PM Studies I've read on epileptics who have had the halves of their brain severed find that women are better able to perform left and right brain activities on either side than are men. Also that women tend to do both simultaneously more than men who tend to operate in one hemisphere at a time. But of course each person has both left and right to their personality and thought patterns. Love the ad though as it do expresses the difference. 26806. thoughtful - 2/21/2012 3:52:12 PM If you haven't seen it, Jill Bolte Taylor's powerful stroke of insight is a fabulous exploration of experiencing right-brained ness. 26807. Wombat - 2/21/2012 11:01:16 PM Wombette got into Quinnipiac University's BS-Doctoral Physical Therapy program! One more to hear from. She also--finally--passed her driver's license road test. 26808. vonKreedon - 2/21/2012 11:35:41 PM If Quinnipiac's Doctoral Physical Therapy program is BS why is she interested? [;-} 26809.

I saw that too. Pity Quinnipiac is so expensive... 26813. iiibbb - 2/24/2012 2:52:42 AM Oh my,
My inlaws are stressing me out. I spend the night at their house when I visit my new job.
My FiL has Altzheimers. My BiL is nearly useless. My MiL is at the end of her rope dealing with with FiL.
He doesn't think he lives in the house anymore. The Dr. says he can't drive, but wresting the car from him. He's angry a lot. After a whole day with him she's got not patience for him.
I have a cold... I can't deal right now. 26814. judithathome - 2/24/2012 8:47:17 PM Sympathy all around...for all of you in that situation.
That illness can cause so much stress for the caregivers...I hate to sound callous but I feel so lucky my parents went quickly. 26815. PsychProf - 2/24/2012 9:36:56 PM Wombat...Outrageous pay for PsychProfs there. 26816. arkymalarky - 2/25/2012 2:21:19 AM My parents, at age 80 and 75, are so healthy I don't have any clue when or if they will get like that. Stan's mother is just beginning to show some memory problem at 82. I feel for people going through the aging illnesses of their parents. 26817. iiibbb - 2/25/2012 5:58:12 PM It is awful--
I know most of the vitriol that he says is due to the disease, but it doesn't help that the particular delusions he's sticking with is the constant need to get out of that house and go "home" to philadelphia so he can get to work at the school that is only 10 minutes from the house he doesn't think he lives in.
Most of the time I can tell him that he's got a brain disease that messes with his short term memory and perception of time, so I know that he finds these things hard to believe, and he tends to calm down.
MiL and BiL have grown weary of it - but they also could greatly improve the way they engage him. They think they can reason with him... and the BiL is painful to listen to because he couldn't make a point quickly if his life dependend on it. Instead he is very confusing which tends to antagonize FiL. MiL just gets tired--- quits saying please and thank you and FiL doesn't like the be bossed around.
It is a messy situation. 26818. concerned - 2/26/2012 12:00:10 AM Geez. The Mote is still around. And the political discussions sound like just before the Bolsheviks took over in Russia. No such thing as 'lessons learned' among Lefties. 26819. concerned - 2/26/2012 12:01:55 AM Geez. The Mote is still around.
