Here are some of my alternatives:
11 = Kangaroo -- I just see 2 arms hanging down like an 11 with the kangaroo standing (http://www.terragalleria.com/pacific/australia/australian-animals/picture.aust2500.html)
12 = a dozen lemons in an egg carton
14 = Nylons - connect to WWII soldiers gifts to women and Valentines Day
17 = Quarter - 17 magazine used to cost 25 cents (probably when I was 17!)
18 = Round - as in round of golf
I'm still struggling with U, Y, O, W
I'd like to somehow connect the O to April 15 & taxes -- Oh no! (does it have to be a noun?)
(after reading a few more posts, I've got O connected to October 15 as the last day possible to file taxes after a couple of extensions)
