I’m self-conscious. To say nothing of the constant eating and its consequences. Bah!

Wonderful games with Caslon
I think we need a picture to judge for ourselves ;)
My sister had to take some of that stuff for a few years I think. At least, the side effects were the same. I was too young to really realize that it was a side effect at the time.
