Hi! My name is Ryoan. Pronounced Rye-own. My husband of 35 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 27 year old HERO!

.

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. Bengals are like potato chips. Ya can't have just one.

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. We don't get along too good. It is Neds bird.

I drive a big old shrimp boat during season. Then a crab boat for stone crab and tarpon crab. Most off time is spent thrifting and off shore fishing. And lets not forget the time of from that stuff, I am pretty much sloth like. Sleeping a lot!

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

When it comes to my Etsy wishlist, yes, I have things on there that I want. The small dollar stuff. The rest is inspirational to me. Not for purchasing.

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, cemeteries, 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

'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 12 years on July 5th, 2017!!!!

I am in love with my life.

I have NO fear of dying....it's HOW I die that bothers me.

I love to make craft items with old costume jewelry.

I LOVE getting extras and I love giving them. Any extras are happily received.

I work on crab boats as a driver. I drive for Stone crab season and a shrimp boat during the shrimp season. I LOVE my job~ Especially shrimp season. I drive at night under the stars, It is beautiful at night in the Gulf of Mexico. The sea life that I am fortunate to see, amazes me everyday. Dolphins ride in the wake of the boat often. All different forms of sea creatures come up in the shrimp nets. I get to look at them all before throwing them back to live on.

View out my 'office window'/driving with my feet~
