Tinkertom,

Glad to hear you can relax a bit - that IS important.

Unfortunately for me, I too am one of those "oh my god, a scratch" type of guys. But I prefer to think of myself as a "spit and polish" guy instead. I have found that this type of self-delusion keeps me out of therapy and sounds a lot better than obsessive-compulsive...or worse - anal. I leave those terms to my closest friends, siblings and wife.

...What`s a guy to do?
