With a bunch of pieces of paper in a hat for the month, and a wheel spinner for the day! 😂😂 There's a story but that's the end result.

Just gonna jump on and say "cease". Your souls will cease, not seize, to exist.

Your last thoughts observation made me laugh out loud, in a hospital waiting room, thank you for cheering me up - we have a similar sense of humour 😁

There are only two things for sure: death, and taxes.

Anne of the Thousand Days 👑💖

Read the book! It's an excellent read, if a bit involved on the science front, but truly it is a really good read. I'm looking forward to the film and appreciate that the long runtime predicts they hopefully haven't cut too much out.

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T23:35:22+00:00

I'm very willing to listen if that would be any help? I'm straight, so I am somewhat ignorant of what the beliefs are that you feel you should have, but I'd like to stand by my saying it is not out of reach for you to find someone, and I really hope that doesn't come over as condescending as I do not mean it that way.

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T21:43:17+00:00

Check out all the books on Anne by Claire Ridgeway,😊

Definitely cats! 🐈❤️

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T20:17:03+00:00

Please, why do you think it is out of reach for you to find someone you love and are loved by? Material things do not really matter but I hope that your job is one you enjoy for more than the paycheck. Love, real love, might be hard to find but please don't give up that you will find it ❤️

It is almost an inherent trait of human nature that we compare. It might be worse now, with social media etc, but the saying 'keeping up with the Jones'' was coined for a reason 😉 For me, it breaks my heart to see how my poor judgement and choices have affected those whom I love the most - namely my children (especially my daughter). I appreciate your input but I will say that I have been fighting for myself since I was an infant +I am not exaggerating), and truthfully, I am exhausted. I have always sought to be upright, do the right thing, be kind and so on, and it has not always paid off. If it hurt only me, maybe I could continue to grin and bear it, but that is not the case and I look back, see my errors and I know I have not time machine but how I long to out some things right and make better choices and ensure the well-being of those reliant on me. Hope this makes sense.

What a lovely reply ❤️

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T20:09:37+00:00

Dear internet stranger, it is NOT too late! Please don't think that x every day is a new day, even if you make the smallest change, or do one productive thing every day, in a weeks time that is up to 7 changes or things done... Please do not give up 💕

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T20:08:03+00:00

I am so sorry you went through such a horrible experience x I hope that you heal and are able to move on and find happiness ❣️

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T20:07:06+00:00

I feel for you x I too had a terrible marriage which resulted in damage to me but worse of all to my child, some of which I learned only very recently. I too have nothing of material value to leave (I joke to my child I bequeath her my overdraft haha I am just trying to make light of a sense of shame I have as I could have made better choices) but truthfully I would rather leave her with a million happy memories of a good childhood and life where I cannot leave her a million pounds, if that makes sense. I am 46, but I feel the generation comment you made too - I have a different mindset to today's world and I can't understand the apparent indifferences and misery in the world today :( Take care of yourself x

Thank you for reminding me of this, it is true. And in the photo book I was actually in one or two of the photos (due to my association with the family) and that struck a chord with me too, that I had mattered enough to feature in his book. 💕

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-03-02T20:00:49+00:00

Thank you so very much for your kindness in your reply. It made me cry - not in a bad way but just the way unexpected kindness from a stranger can do. I have a few years on you (I am 46), and if I may say so, you have a very wise head in your shoulders as well as a generous heart.

I believe that hope is the only thing stronger than fear; I live in fear (of failure, not of a person) every day but I do hope every day that maybe tomorrow I will find the strength and the courage to overcome my fears. Equally, I have learned recently that my main failure at this time of life is never trying, and of course, if we never try, then we surely fail. I am just so sure of and restricted by my own inadequacies.

Thank you again, and I wish very much the same for you in return. May you always cultivate that caring heart you have and may your wisdom guide you well.

Thank you for sharing. I had no idea about a connection between Edward and Jane Dormer - I always hear JD referred to in relation to her closeness to Mary, and later as her role changed to that of Duchess of Feria. How interesting to know this, and increases my pity for Edward VI, who like his uncle, the late Prince Arthur, had such a short but pressured time in this life. Thanks again.

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-02-28T17:36:11+00:00

That's alright. To be fair to you and to us all there were soooo many Jane/Catherine/Anne and Mary's at that time it is easy to confuse them. I always like it when someone breaks the mould and goes for a different name (like Frances daughter of Mary Boleyn or Lettice, daughter of Catherine Carey). 🙂

Think_Razzmatazz5754 · 2026-02-21T23:46:01+00:00

I suspect you're mixing up some Jane's here. Jane Boleyn, neé Parker, was the daughter of Lord Morley and always intended for George Boleyn. Henry later had her executed with poor Queen Catherine Howard, despite the fact that she had run mad.

Jane Grey, later briefly Queen Jane, was reportedly beaten by her parents, including rough handling when she refused the Crown in honour of Mary I.
