Empty-Nester

Nice one! Just one small nitpick, 2D's definition is singular while the answer is plural. I do love poker as a definition for cactus though!

Thanks nate! My intention was that “Poker’s” would actually be parsed as “pokers” for the definition. I know punctuation can be superfluous for wordplay, but maybe that’s too misleading for the definition.

1D: ||*Levi's* = "Gene's"|| \
2D: ||*pokers* (rude punctuation, I know) = CACTI (first of 2nd-6th words)|| \
3D: ||*swindler* = (RASH)* + K|| \
4D: ||*famous* = DETON[ation]<|| \
1A: ||*yours truly* = JACK (as in "Union Jack") + SON|| \
5A: ||*curve* = [f]A[b]R[i]C[s]|| \
6A: ||*play division* = A[t] + C[our]T|| \
7A: ||*ignored responsibilities* = (HER DISK)*||

these are fantastic, love the explanations
