Ok I will be going through my latest posts (with the user search option) and I will go back and read replies and then go and correct spelling/grammar mistakes that I know that no one will ever read again... I find myself doing this a lot. Am I the only one?

I wouldn't call that being a perfectionist. I would call that obsessive neuroticism.
No, I correct them as I go.
*Hint-use "Word" to spell check.*

Open up your yellow pages, look under "d", then look for psychiatrists, they might be able to help! j/k It is a bit much though, there's more important things to focus on in life.

LOL yeah, you're right. Thought there would be a listing under doctors, but in my yellow pages they don't have doctors under &quot;d&quot;. Well that tells you the last time I needed any medical care. Just call 911, they'll send help for free.
