Today I happened to be driving past the shopping center in Rockville, Maryland where G Street Fabrics is now located. A car pulled out of the center and into the lane in front of me. The license plate had a frame that said, “I’d rather be sewing” and the plate itself said “NDLPT BK.”
Do you suppose she wrote one? Anyway, it made me smile.

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
My other car is lost in the Walmart parking lot. rjf
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.
