Yeah, that's the ticket.<BR/><BR/>I live with someone just like you; and yes, you do drive us nuts unless we learn to laugh about it. My life has been filled with laughter for 36 years—well, let's say 33 years. It took awhile.<BR/><BR/>As a fellow perfectionist without quite the neurosis, let me offer this: sometimes, good enough is good enough.

(The problem with irrational fears is that they don't listen to reason, one of mine is public speaking.) <BR/><BR/>At the General Meeting directly afterwards I was voted on the board as head of the worship committee, so I guess it went okay...M.
