Drum roll, please......

1.  Boxing

2.  Niagara Falls

3.  Asparagus, rhubarb.  [A couple people mentioned artichokes, but I don't know if that's a fact.  Anyone?]

4.  Strawberries.  [But you all knew that]

5.  It grew inside the bottle.  The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left for the whole growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.

6.  Dwarf, dwell and dwindle.  [See Yetzirah's diary for some others]

7.  Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, bracket [ ], parentheses ( ), braces { }, and ellipses.

8.  Lettuce

9.  Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes, stockings, stilts.

How did you do?

If you want to screw up somebody else's head, feel free to use this.

Shalom

    According to Wikipedia: "The Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a perennial thistle originating in southern Europe around the Mediterranean." There is much more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_artichoke.

    You have probably seen it on Yetzirah's Diary. I am her dentist's Office Mgr.

    My Mom says there is some Jewish blood in our veins but I don't know for sure. I doubt that is the reason for all the kids though. I think all the guys just have a one track mind!

    God Bless.....

    Dweeb? Slang, but there it is.

    I did okay, but not great, especially on the "things you can wear on your feet"--only got three of those. I did get 11 of the punctuation marks, but do you know how tempting it is to just look at the keyboard?! They're all right there! (I didn't cheat. Promise.)

    Hugs,
