RyeRye

Hi! My name is Ryoan. Pronounced Rye-own. My friends call me Rye-Rye. My husband of 29 years Ned and I live in SW Florida.

I talk about my husband Ned like you know him because you should. He is a great guy.

Mom of one 21 year old HERO!

Bean, our son joined the Army fall 07. For now he is based at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Since the explosion his face and chest are extremely sensative to temperature changes, heat and sun. (Flick photos) At this point we are all unsure what the Army has in store for him. He loves being in the Army and really hopes to make a career out of it.Time will tell though. We are soooooo proud of him!

I have 3 Bengal cats and 1-F2 Asian spotted leopard to keep me company. A bit on the wild side for house pets, but never a dull moment. I started with 1 Bengal and he seemed bored and it just kinda got out of hand from there.

I also have an African Grey parrot, Conrad, that has the vocab of a 3 year old. He talks very clearly and even can hold a conversation. He swears a LOT.

I drive a shrimp boat at nights for a living and when stone crab season is in, I drive the crab boat. Season starts for me November 1st! I am so excited~ Weekends are pretty reserved for garage sales or offshore fishing.

I LOVE to laugh! I have a wicked fun sense of humor at anyone's expense. teehee

I am always up for a private swap! Just pop me a Pm.

I am a coffee loving junkie! I drink way too much but enjoy every cup like it's the first of the morning.
Ahhhhhh, cup-o-joe I luv you! (not flavored) Not a tea drinker at all.

I am a smoker and I have 4 exotic house cats. I talk like a sailor. I can fart at will. Pretty classy huh~

I love dark, macabre, cememtaries, death, mourning rituals, ghouls, demons, spirits, ghosts, house cleansing, people cleansing, burial rituals......but I'm really not a 'dark' person at all. Just morbid.

I believe in angels

I keep my religion my own and I ask you to do the same.

'My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.' ~Albert Einstein

I love nature & animals. I have a passion for animals that runs deep. In fact, I tend to like animals more than a large percentage of people.

I make dolls, so ANY supplies are welcomed. Heads, arms, legs and stuff.

I will be SOBER 9 years on July 5th, 2010!!!!

I am in love with my life.

I have NO fear of dying.

I love to make craft items with old costume jewelry.

ATC's are NOT my strong point. I prefer a larger 'canvas' when I work.

Favorite Crafts I love scrapbooking. It took me 3 years and 9 books to create my fathers entire life from birth to present. I gave them to him one at a time last year for Christmas. He had tears running down his face after the first one. He had no idea there were 8 more. He was in awe. Every page, every detail was placed and well thought out and planned before glued. Each page has a small space for him to write a memory or date. As my Dad gets older these books will be wonderful reminders to him of days gone by and not forgotten. My Dad RULES!!!

(Since this huge project I have stepped away from scrapbooking for a while to do and try new things)

Anything from the 70's.

Horror Flick Chick. If it has a Zombie in it, I love it.
