Happy 'Q' Day!
QWERTY: is the most common modern-day keyboard layout for Latin script. The name comes from reading the first six keys appearing on the top left letter row of the keyboard (Q, W, E, R, T, and Y) from left to right.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY)
Getting tired of looking at your QWERTY keyboard yet?
Well...tough noogies!
We are not done yet!
Q is only the 17th letter in the alphabet!
You know what's up next? All the hard letters!
Yeah, you know it and I know it!
U, V, W, X, Y & Z!
[add movie scream here]
These letters are going to require lots of finesse and skill, two things I sorely lack, so instead, I'll have to wing it!
Hey, look! Wing it! That's a W word!
Know what? We can't lose!
Can we do it? Yes, we can!
Wait! That's a Y word!

Special Blogfest Announcement
Blood, Boobs, and Carnage
Blogfest!
Alex used that phrase last year to describe an upcoming movie release. It amused
many people, including ME. (Okay, mostly me) So, naturally we decided to make it a blogfest.
What
falls into that category? Here’s a few examples – Conan the Barbarian, Breaking
Bad, Fast and Furious, The Watchmen, etc.
Here’s
the details, short and simple:
On
May 18, 2015, post about a movie, television show, book, or all three that
falls into the category of Blood, Boobs, and Carnage. (Or just Blood and
Carnage or other mixture.) It can be any genre that fits the bill – fantasy,
science fiction, action, adventure, western, thriller, etc. Post the badge and
visit other participants.

There's no earthly way of knowing.
Which direction we are going!
HOLLYWOOD NUTS!
Come Visit: You know you want to know if me or Hollywood... is Nuts?
Having a good laugh here thank you! Qwerty indeed! How about X-ray Bill Nicholls in UK? Xylitol? xenophobia? Thanks Jeremy for some words too ...
interesting concept. learning so much new here.
Well, since I got past Q, how hard can the rest be? Well okay, X…oh, and maybe U…
I have topics for those letters, damn good ones too. Unfortunately, I'm running out of steam and words no come out good now. Thanks for the encouragement. Wine and chocolate would be welcome as well. The best thing about next week: the 30th, Z day, is my birthday. I think I'll take a week off from writing as a present to myself.
Thanks for making me laugh. Great pep talk this morning as we head into the uphill portion of the challenge - oh look, a u-word ... uphill!! :D
what have i just gotten myself into?
X is easy.
Sounds like a cute blog fest next month! Actually the "hard" letters were easy this year for some reason :)
betty
I looked up words for those letters first. Talk about a challenge! Especially considering my theme is "Why people read romance." Can't wait to see the reactions for Z. :)
Yes, we CAN do this!
This being my sixth Challenge, I've learned how to deal with those letters.
Blood, Boobs, and Carnage! Bring it on.
Blood, Boobs, and Carnage...that's hysterical! Even if I don't join in on the blogfest, I may just have to hop around to check out what everyone comes up with! Now Heather...I WILL NEED reminders :)
Katie @TheCyborgMom
Sounds like fun. And we'll all be recovered by then.
Y is the one letter that always causes me problems. There aren't a lot of strange words that start with Y.
Qwerty? Well my spell check recognizes it. I use it all the time but had no idea about this word. Go figure. Thanks for sharing and stretching my vocabulary. Nice!
Yep, we're coming down to the tricky letters. Hope the blogfest goes swimmingly.
So far so good. Hank is here

I found out about Qwerty when I was 17 and taking typing lessons! This is what we used in class to learn finger placement and where the letters were. "The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over the Lazy Dog" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_quick_brown_fox_jumps_over_the_lazy_dog
So glad my posts are done. I check them before I post, but they are done! Q was one of the hardest ones, but my brain pulled through for me! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
My Qwerty is almost non-existent. There's no S or D or E. Half of the O is missing and N's on its way to oblivion, too. Thanks for the boost.
The perfect blogfest for me and my blog!!!!!!

I didn't have too much trouble with these letters, but sheesh.
OMG! OMG U, V, W, X, Y & Z! all these hared letters to do! aghhhhhh! LOL.
My letters have faded so it's not reading QWERTY anymore.
That blogfest sounds great, but my brain is not functioning too well at the moment.
I think I'm already on auto-pilot...
Most of the letters I already had in mind and my subject is Missouri so there were lots to choose from. I've had a lot of fun looking closer at the state I now call home. I will admit, I've had to stretch just a bit to find a subject to fit the letter.
Took me a while to figure out where the term querty came from, lol! One of cell phones I had mentioned a querty keyboard and I think querty? What the hell is a querty? :-D

Hi Heather - I haven't written them .. but know what I want to do .. I had J for Jynjy .. I think I've cracked it?! The rest are easy peasy .. with a few twists .. such is life - manipulation ..
Cheers Hilary
Those remaining letters were definitely hard! Well, some. Okay. Yeah. They were. :-p I've got them ready to go, though! I've really been enjoying the challenge so far!
Yeah, I'm a little tired of the old QWERTY but we're SO CLOSE!!!
LOVE the blogfest idea. That's hilarious!!
I already have my posts done to the end of the challenge. No problems.
I have half of them done. Still need to read a book beginning with "V" though
Have all ready except "X" and "Z" ... surely will come up with something.. coz I do not want to miss even a single Alpabet..

I've done really well this year. I missed two days but posted why and made up for them. I've scheduled/posted up to U plus W. Z should be a quick read. V and Y are thick books unless I change my mind. Still thinking about X.
Maybe it's the eXception?
I know it's bad.
:)

Well done, Jeremy!
TY
HMG
He may have been looking for an actual place with an X.
Not sure.
Good suggestions though.
TY
HMG
Thanks for stopping in!
TY
HMG
Yeah, see?
Not so easy!
:)
TY
HMG
Well, happy almost birthday!
I can provide steam, but I never share my chocolate.
:)
Sorry!
Keep going!
TY
HMG
Nice!
Uphill! I love it!
TY

Welcome to the dark side!
I ate your cookies.
TY
HMG
Well, that's nice to hear!
I like easy!
TY
HMG
Oh boy!
I can't wait to see what you write!
TY
HMG
It's cause you have clones!
You can't fool us!
TY
HMG
I will do my best to faithfully remind everyone.
:)
TY
HMG
That's what we were hoping anyway.
Keep people motivated in May.
:)
TY
HMG
That is a tough one.
There's always y'all. Completely made up and pretty strange.
:)
TY
HMG
We learn good here!
Thanks for coming!
TY
HMG
Thank you!
I hope so too!
TY
HMG
That's what we like to hear!
TY
HMG
Trying to make me jealous?
Well, it worked!
I learned how to type like that, too!
TY
HMG
That's a well loved keyboard!
TY
HMG
Excellent!
We love perfect!
TY
HMG
They can be tricky...to some.
TY
HMG
But, we shall prevail!
No letter will beat us!
TY
HMG
That's a well used keyboard, though.
It's a good thing.
:)
Plenty of time to sign-up later!
TY
HMG
It's kind of more geek/nerd info than I usually like to share, but it worked for the letter.
:)
TY
HMG
You will get it done!
No problems!
TY
HMG
That's what we want to hear. Getting posts done and having a good time!
TY
HMG
We are close! Close to Z!
We can make it!
Thank you!
TY
HMG
I'd feel bad for myself if I wasn't so happy for you!
Great job!
TY
HMG
I can see how that could prove problematic. V is a toughie.
You'll find one!
TY
HMG
Never!
We will hit them all!
Good luck!
TY
HMG
Crossing my fingers for you!
You'll make it!
TY
HMG
I have the rest of my letters mapped out, which should be the hard part. But then when I sit down to write them, I still seem to struggle. I think my brain is tired. :)
