Family

My Dad, Don Hyneman, was born in Atlanta, Georgia on May 25th, 1953. He was raised methodist, is a genius, is addicted to punning (SG-1 fans...think Jack) and has worked for Lockheed and Hewlett Packard. He's a retired Chief Master Sargeant in the Air Force as well as the deacon of our church.

My Mom, Cynthia Hyneman, was born in Cisco, Texas on Jan. 3rd, 1952. She travelled around a lot, is credentialed to teach Latin in High School, was a teacher for many years in elementary grades in California, and now just does her best to raise us...

My sister, Mary Hyneman Hebert (A-Bear *it's French*) was born in Lancaster, California on May 12th, 1980. She's incredibly skilled in precision sketching. She crochets, decorates her new house, keeps her husband in line, and really really wants a cat.

My brother, Daniel Hyneman, was born in Lancaster, California on Oct 1st, 1981. He's incredible with electronics, constantly inventing strange doo-hickeys and rewiring things around the house. He's got a lot of common sense burried in his nutty, slightly abrasive (SG-1 fans...think Lantash) personality. He's got a sweet streak and always takes extra care with me.

My brother, Thomas Hyneman, was born in Lancaster, California on June 1st, 1983. He's...a genius. *Sigh* I don't know exactly how high his IQ is, but he inherited Dad's genius and since he's a teen, he's also loveable, obnoxious, caring, etc...all the things I was when I was his age. Well, not quite that bad. He learned a lot from my mistakes according to Mom. *g*

My brother, Samuel Hyneman was born in Lancaster, California on Dec 24th, 1985. He was beautiful. I don't remember him crying much, though I'm sure he did. He's a bright spot in my memory even though his death on Jan. 19th, 1986 was really rough. We were told he died of S.I.D.S., but we suspect he had a sleep apnea like Mom and just wasn't strong enough to jumpstart. He died in the middle of the night.

My cat, Tubby (panther-build), was born in Lithia Springs, Georgia on Oct 15th, 1996. He's grey & white with green eyes and the same type of short, soft fur you find on most plush teddy bears. It ruffles so nicely. He's moody. Sometimes he'll deign to allow you to hold him, and sometimes he'll flick his head and walk off as if you don't exist. He loves having his pink nose scratched. He prefers to eat breads, tuna, and all of Mom's plants. He's left pawed, preferring to dip his paw in liquid to drink and is spotless, dainty, and tidy in just about everything he does. He's three foot long and weighs 13 pounds...mostly muscle.

My cat, Quest (tiger-build), was born in Lithia Springs, Georgia on Oct 15th, 1996. He's black & white with yellow-green eyes and his long fur is soft, but sleek-catching your hand a bit as you pet him. He likes to go to the middle of the house and meow loudly until someone meows back and then he'll trot on over to where you are. He's very dependant on people (SG-1 fans...think Urgo) and wants constant attention. He adores angel food cake and will hunt you down to get some, eats the petals of roses whenever Tommi (Thomas) gives some to Marla, eats all of Mom's plants, loves tuna, and can't control his bladder around catnip because of how excited he gets. We don't keep catnip in the house anymore... He's four foot long, has a black nose and weighs 14.5 pounds...not quite all muscle. He's the dominant cat.

My cat, Cinnamon (cougar-build), was born in Dallas, Georgia on June 15th, 1999. He's different shades of brown with slim black stripes and splashes of ground cinnamon on his brown nose and ears. He's loud with a really whiny & pathetic meow that cracks us up constantly. He's soooo sweet. He loves people and sleeps with me all the time. His fur is very short and feels like you're running your fingers along a soft feather. He jumps in your lap, chases you when you have food, hates being told "No.", and purrs wonderfully. He's two feet long and weighs 13 pounds...all muscle.

Info on my daughters, Nicole Forrister and Carrie Fambrough , will appear here once they tell me what they want me to put here. Otherwise...might have a few embarrassing things up and I'm not really ready to die yet. *eg*
