   Ok Ok, I'm normally pretty good with acronyms, but this one has me stumped - what does it stand for?!  I'm going to go nuts till I figure it out.

   Sounds like Needlepoint Book to me.

   Thank you!  I knew as soon as it was pointed out to me it'd make perfect sense.  I feel so much better now.

   I see a car every now and then that has a plate that reads CRXSTCHR  I can only believe that it stands for Cross stitcher or Cross stitch teacher.  What do you all think?

   Oh, Gotta be.  Are there any other visible signs of obsession?  A needle worked seat-cover for the driver's seat, perhaps?

   Well, it must be a two-car family.   I wonder what his plate says.    rjf

   I wonder what his plate says. 

   Maybe he has a bumper sticker that says, "My wife is a stitch."

   I don't know but it would be interesting to follow them and find out sometime.  I also have a friend that is a sewing teacher that has the plate SURG HER.  I thought that was really clever. 

   Ok now I guess I am going to be the one to send out the challenge to you all. What would you put on your vanity plate if you could and have to keep it to 8 spaces including spaces?  I think mine would be DUSEWIT.  or if not in the sewing or hand work then it would have to be STABKPMS.

   I might borrow a line from a book I read long ago called "C D B", and use IFNNENRG.

   Ok you now have me stumped.

   "I might borrow a line from a book I read long ago called "C D B", and use IFNNENRG." 

   What does the letters IFNNENRG stand for.

   By the way I also saw recently a car with lettering and an arrow on the front passenger side door that pointed to the front fender damage... It read   "ex-girlfriend damage." I think that says alot.

   "IFNNENRG"?     I don't know either but the last 3 letters could be energy?  But it doesn't give a clue about the first 6 letters.    rjf

   Read it a few times out loud, and you'll find yourself saying "I haven't any energy." I tried to post that last night before leaving the office but failed to get it through--didn't want to leave you all hanging!

   While we're at it, why not make custom bumper stickers?  Complete the phrase: My other car is....

   My license plate would say WRP SPD for warp speed and

   My Other Car Is A Leclerc

    Well at least you have another car.  LOL.  If I had another car it would be lost at any number of fabric stores.

   Judy, I took it as SewWriter did, to mean "Needlepoint Book."  Another possibility might be "needlepoint break," which is a good idea.  I might take one this afternoon.  As long as the driver of the car wasn't taking one while driving up Rockville Pike!

   I have to agree it is probably Needlepoint Book.  If it was supposed to be break I think it would have been brk if I am remembering my high school notehand class as I should be.
