No. You don't.

I just ended an email message with, "I've got it under control."
I realized that that fools no one. "I've got it under control" means, "Only an Act of God can keep it all from going to hell." It's right up there with, "it's all good" and is only less convincing than "no worries."

::grin:: I've been known to use "no worries" very often. :( Usually I mean it, really I do!

Me too. That's why I admitted that "no worries" is more convincing. I often mean it sincerely.
