I missed Wyoming - but my spelling was even worse

I'm not even going to try. It would take me way longer than ten minutes.

What scares me is if I ever get pulled over {not that I would but if I ever did....} and they ask me to recite the alphabet backwards...no way. Do they even really ask this? I think we saw it on a movie or something and Hubster and I were like 'Who can really do this???'

And, hell, I probably couldn't even walk a straight line.

LOL, I know them all - only because of the ABC states song. I just wonder how quickly I could type them.

here goes!

Haha! 5:15 - screwed up with my New ____s. Admittedly, three glasses of wine haven't helped...

Dammit, stupid F-ing east coast podunk states. Stupid norther border frontiersman middle-of-nowhere states.

I had all but 13 done in the first 4 minutes. Had all but 7 in the first 7 minutes.

You forgot: Delaware, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Wyoming,

That's something I can do as fast as I can say it forward. When my daughter was a baby, I would lay her down for bed after feeding her in the middle of the night and if I could get through saying the alphabet backwards, I felt comfortable enough to snooze away. But if she cried out before that, I would tend to her and then start over. Oddly enough, my daughter can now also recite the alphabet backwards.

The key is to do it in 3's. You know the first zyx, then wvu, tsr, qpo etc.

You find that there are groups of letters that come naturally and that makes it easier. Then all of a sudden you're at fedcba and ta-da - you know the alphabet backwards.

Just one of my many talents! :cheers: :p

I missed Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma. I had the States song going though my head, but it quit about 3/4 of the way though.

I can't believe I missed Rhode Island..........:blush:
