TEN WAYS TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Wearing thin shoes and stockings and insufficient clothing in cold and rainy weather ; leading a lazy, excited theater-going, dancing life ; sleeping on feathers in a 7 by 9 room ; eating hot, stimulating food, too fast and a great deal too much of it at improper times ; beginning with tea and coffee in childhood and adding tobacco and spirits in due time ; marrying in haste and living in continual ferment thereafter ; following unhealthy occupations to make money ; taking bitters and confections and gormandizing between meals  ; giving way to fits of passion, or keeping in perpetual worry ; going to bed at midnight and getting up at noon, and eating when you catch it. To which may be added a recipe for killing children ; paregorics, cordials, candy and rich cake ; and when they are made sick thereby, mercury, tartar-emetic, castor oil and sulphur.

Awwww, this is so FANTASTIC, I think they’re right now more than ever;]
thank You so much!!!
love t.o.t.c.
I do… most of these things. Especially:
-leading a lazy, excited theater-going, dancing life
-beginning with tea and coffee in childhood and adding tobacco and spirits in due time
-following unhealthy occupations to make money*
-giving way to fits of passion, or keeping in perpetual worry
-going to bed at midnight and getting up at noon, and eating when you catch it
*You don’t even want to imagine the noses that have been blown on me in the last week, let alone in my entire career in early childhood education](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly5slqKJNI1qzdzano1_500.jpg)
