Hi Dreamers, this episode is going to be a little bit different because I'm going to touch on a couple different things in regards to last weekend's episode.

I had a different bonus planned, but I've put that on hold until next week and this is kind of causing me to fall behind a little bit

so hopefully Sunday's episode will be ready in time and I think it will be ready in time. And I think it will be, but that's just a heads up just in case.

Okay, so this week we talked about the death of Og de la Plaza, and I am, as always, absolutely pleased with the feedback I received from everyone, positive or otherwise.

I had one listener in particular,

and I did post about it in the Facebook group,

point out that I was incorrect and outlandish in making the sweeping generalization

that suicide by stabbing is rare. And moreover that what I said was blatantly untrue.

Reflecting back on what I said, I did say, quote,

who stabs themselves to death, unquote. Well, that statement right there may not have been the best way to word what I wanted to get across,

and it may have seemed insensitive, for that I extend my apologies.

I do not want to in any way diminish the tragedy when somebody takes their own life.

So with that I'm going to quickly

address some of the statements I made regarding suicide and stabbing. I was

repeatedly asked what my sources were in regarding a variety of statements I made in the Ug de la Plaza episode.

So I'm going to go over some of those points right now.

I said suicide by stabbing is rare.

According to Lost All Hope.com, methods of suicide are broken down as follows.

Suicide by firearms makes up 50.9% of all suicides.

Suffocation slash hanging 24.8%

poisoning 16.6 percent. Fall 2.3 percent. Cut slash piercing 1.8 percent. Other 1.2 percent.

Other.
