sorry, no. they are two abbreviations yes but very familiar ones I think all will immediately recognize. Directors for my Quickie POWs are words that suggest what to do with the letters derived from the rest of the clues. Here are some examples: - words like aloud, heard said, spoken, etc may direct that the clues answer sounds like the letters in the answer. ex: any = NE - words like reflected, mirrored, going back, etc. may direct the clues answer to be reversed. ex: morning flipped = MA - words like confused, crazy, erupted, shaken may define an anagram - words like tiny, small, petite, truncated, etc may direct the clues answer needs to be or is an abbreviation. - words like carved, split, interupted, etc. may suggest the clues answer is within another clues answer - words like surrounds, covers, hides, about etc. may suggest the clues answer is around another clues answer. ex: morning surrounding sight = A I M - words like left/right, odd, even, before, after, alternate, first, end (sometimes but) etc could be directors... and am sure there are others I'm forgetting but you get the idea?

Hey, good start and finish as you have the right answer. Just a few things to tune up. You got what I thought was the most obscure clue. Here's a hint
-
cuz gotta think there will need to be others.
-
Of course. Good fun is reason for all. It's me who should apologize, WIlson. Should have had the courtesy to give you a serious answer to your guess as well as a joke.
-
Thanks for the fun all day. Have a fabulous weekend.
-
Really like this guess so will gamble and say another great one MrsP, all right on the money except for that easy part once again.

This time it was me and Txmom2 that were on the same page. Think we both read *crackling* hence the Rice Krispies hang up.

Oh _ _ _ _, if I've "swooped" again; Am making friends left and right! This came as I was reading the riddle tho, not the posts. And could be totally wrong...
-
I likes Edit--show us MrsP, mostly curious of how close my thoughts were to yours. Know you want to....
-
Didnt want to swoop, just wanted clarity. If i did i think this one could have been called some time ago.

-
not when I'm current with my meds....
-
Yes indeed. Thanks and congrats. Here's how I come up with your answer for the other lines
-
I was thinking along the lines of Mrs. P (in more ways than one)
-
Darn, I intended to clarify that and forgot. It's the best in that I think it fits the closest but it is totally unrelated to my answer.
-
woohooh---Excellent. And most excellent riddle. Love those seemingly contradictory lines that are a quagmire until the one answer comes to you! Very well conceived!
-
I'm not coming up with anything good, but I am loving this riddle! Not it but I like this one best so far. Not as good as mine mind you.... Edit: And not either of those either, DD. Good to see you.
