Great job! I find that if the shakes get too bad, you can drink a small glass of Snapple. Of course, you have to add your own mixer! Use Jim Beam or Canadian club--they sponsor Indy cars.

Let me appologise to anyone who has the shakes because of medicals problems. I was being light-hearted, and had no intention of being insensitive. When I was nine years old, my parents took me the Doctor, thinking I was developing Epilepsy. That was in the mid-fifties. No, I didn't, but had what they called severe tics. Years later, I found it was Tourettes. I've learned to live with it (medication is worse than the affliction) and found the best way is to be light-hearted about it. Those that called me a"spaz's" growing up were simply uninformed or very insensitive. I did not intend to come across as the same. Yes, I still have the shakes, but if I am concentrating on a task, they are not noticeable.

Ralph -- I used to take a medication called Propranolol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propranolol) because of my tremors. They were anxiety based, so I don't take it anymore since I found a good doctor who got to the root cause but they are very commonly taken by surgeons, politicians, etc. to help with shaking. You should ask your doctor about it. I had no side effects from it and it truly does help with the kind of shaking you and I both seem to have when decaling  |

Sometimes I buy 2 sheets just b/c of that. I already take enough prescriptions anyway. And for the guy that posted above no offense taken. I'm going to build a box with some padding on top that will surround the cars, then I'll have something to rest my wrists on, may help to steady my hands. |

Honestly, you should ask about it. It was very inexpensive (like $4) and I think you and I have a lot of the same anxiety. I too buy multiple sheets for the same reasons. The medicine can be taken half hour before you are going to work on a car and it will last a few hours. Not something you have to take regularly. Not a narcotic or anything like that, either.

I just go longer periods with no desire to start anything. These 2 were a commission which was the only reason I did them, I have a hard time saying no to some people. |

We all need a break now and then, Ralph. Except for Calvin, that is. When it stops being fun, you need to walk away for a spell.
