Re: Chopsticks
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] TT, I'll be in the city tomorrow if you need some in-person lessons, its really not that hard at all. I think you can work around the hand strength issues, which may be why the diagrams arent helping. -ed [/ QUOTE ] TT-- I learned to use chopsticks a long time ago in spite of being the world's most uncoordinated klutz. Nowadays I am having trouble with my hands (especially the right one), a combo of arthritis in the joints and a repetitive stress issue from computer overuse. Some days I can't even hold a can of coke in my right hand. I have the devil's own time opening many kinds of packaging. But I can still use my chopsticks. So there's hope. [/ QUOTE ] I have so much [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for LOL! Once again you just made my day. I have days that are similar with my left hand, I lost total feeling from my index finger to the left part of the palm after the accident for a few months, but sometimes it returns for short periods. Good to know I'm not hopeless, just a klutzy spazz when it comes to chopsticks. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Give me a head's-up next time you are in Vegas. There's a very good sushi place a couple of blocks from my abode, and we can klutz it up together and schmooze about life on St. Mark's Place....

Re: Chopsticks
chop sticks remind me of the amish. nothing wrong with it but a refusal to belong to the current time.
i applied for amish status. i was rejected regarding something about long hair, unwillingness to shave, smelled like a hippie. when i was a younster, i swam at a quarry. many amish kids who come to fish would come by to visit. we partied. hope the elders dont find out.

Re: Chopsticks
I have searched for this thread 3 times since it's inception because of my chopstick ineptness (ineptitude???). I need to seek it no more. With this bump I submit a pic of tonights sushi feast (another introduction made to me by OOT) to pay tribute to the chopstick thread.

Re: Chopsticks
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I have something to admit.... I don't know how to use chopsticks. I've tried so many times, I even bought those stupid beginners sticks with a spring, but for me its like I'm retarded... I become the most socially awkward person in the world. So here is my offer OOT. Teach me how to use chopsticks and I'll give you $100. If I learn from a combination of posters I'll split the money. If I still don't learn, or if I'm just too lazy to do anything about it then you are SOL. Anyone up for the challenge? PS: I have some nerve damage, my hands are weak due to a skiing accident. This should make it extra hard [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] So what do you do when you go out to a nice sushi place? Ask for a fork? [/ QUOTE ]I've done this at plenty of places. I can use chopsticks, but its easier for me to use a fork so I do.
