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

I'm just curious to see how many lefties and righties we've got in the community. Did you know that a lot of left-handed people were actually hit whenever they used their left hand as kids? I recommend reading this Wiki article to find out more about the negative connotations and about being left-handed in general. For the record, I think it's all a bunch of nonsense to treat left-handed people that way. I mean, really, it's so messed up.

I tried this and I can't quite get it. When I hold out my arm, create the circle, and try to focus on something inside the circle, there is always two circles and two things... When I close my right eye, the thing I'm looking at is in the left corner of the circle, but not out of the circle. When I close my left eye, the thing is in the right hand side of the circle, but also not outside of it. I don't get it

For those who are interested in testing eye dominance, there's an easy neat little test;
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!

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' ...

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!

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.

While I am a lefty (Mrs. Lust is a righty) I work with my hands extensively and as such am fairly comfortable using both.

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!
