  1. I want #1337! Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  2. Texas Mike, Hugs and love. I'm here to talk. PM or call me anytime, for any reason, with any thoughts. I have also known sudden death and grieving. More hugs, Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  3. Seb likes to get tipped in jello-shots :D AFTER the jump! "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  4. He makes fun of people on Nat'l TV...that's doing something! "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  5. Yes a few people have expressed concern over the vom potential. Maybe he could cram the margarine in the plane, wash it down with beer in freefall, then smoke under canopy. That's an excellent idea re the jumpsuit! "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  6. It seems some of y'all think I'm out to get Stephen. NOT TRUE! This is all about making one man's dreams come true!!! Isn't this what we're all supposed to do with life? Not only take care of ourselves, but ensure others' basic needs are met too? I'm not upset! This is all in fun :) I mean, who wouldnt want to see Stephen skydive while smoking drinking and eating a stick of margarine? Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  7. I've issued the challenge below to Stephen Colbert. If you would like to see this happen go to colbertnation.com, register for the forums, go to the forum index and under The Colbert Report forum, reply to my post titled "CHALLENGE TO YOU STEPHEN!!!" and tell him how you feel! Or just reply to this post! Blues y'all! Hi Stephen! My name is Jen. I'm a politically charged mom/student living in San Jose California. I'm also a great fan of your show, Colbert Report. I watched your recent interview with Rick Berman in which you declared, "I should have the right to smoke and drink and eat a stick of margarine as I skydive!!" I happen to be a skydiver, and I want to issue YOU a challenge! Stand up for your right to smoke and drink and eat a stick of margarine while you skydive. Come out to California. I will pay for you to tandem skydive at Adventure Center Skydiving in Hollister. I will pay for your video of said skydive. This is on the condition that you smoke, and drink, and eat a stick of margarine while in freefall! I'd like to wire up your helmet like a beer helmet, then you could double-fist the cig and the margarine as you enjoy not only the fabulous sensation of freefall, but the satisfaction brought by the exercising of your basic human rights guaranteed you by the Constitution of our great United States! Please reply ASAP! You can reach me through myspace.com/jenp9k or the Colbert Nation message board. Looking forward to pushing you out of a plane, Jennifer "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi

  9. I'll definately be raising my beer up to the lost members of our family. I wish I could be there in person. Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  10. To all of you who are friends and family of the jumpers who died, my love. I did my 2 tandems and my first jump at Skydive Snohomish back in 2004! Walking in the first time, I was terrified! But all the great loving, welcoming people at Snohomish quickly turned me into one of their own! I did not know any of the jumpers who died. But I myself lost my partner, my love last Dec. in Eloy. I know the loss you are feeling and I wish with all the love left in me after Cliff's death, that I could somehow ease your pain. I will always consider Snohomish my home dz. I think about the people and place that gave birth to my skydiving self often, and my heart is with you now. Blue skies, Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  11. Wow Agent! You read through all this? Cliff is still so loved and missed. Thank you for taking the time. I'll pass your post on to his family. Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  12. Hi everyone, As Cliff Heller's widow, I'd like to add my 2 cents... The issue of separating the HPL area from the SPL has already been addressed as jumpers for the most part already distinguish and utilize these areas. There should be no harm in making it an official BSR to be implemented. Like seatbelts, it is common sense. But everybody has different levels of common sense which is why rules are set by society. Yes, I am a newbie and there are many nuances to this issue that I do not understand. But Cliff was not a newbie, and I know he was extremely dedicated to safety. I endured many lectures on safety, in particular being aware of other jumpers under canopy, knowing where they are what they are doing at all times, but most of all remembering to use my own knowledge and judgement to land myself safely. Isn't the issue here pilot error under canopy? Checking blind spots, altitude awareness and appropriate skill level? I'm not saying it shouldnt necessarily be implemented, but I'm not sure this BSR proposal is going to end up decreasing the death toll... Be safe, Jen Osborne "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  13. Simon, I installed the codec and the newest Windows Media but it wont work for me either. Is this the same footage you are going to give to Doctor? He said he would put together a DVD for me so if so I wont worry about viewing this right now. "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  14. Cindy please call me Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
  15. Hi everyone For all of you who came out to Hollister yesterday a big hug and thank you! Watching the ash dive from the ground was absolutely amazing. I could see the cloud appear and dissipate when he was released. Thank you Adam. Anybody who has video of the dives made yesterday in Cliff's name, please contact me. I'd like to have copies of what you have for myself and for his brother and sisters too. Doctor, could I also have a copy of the tribute you made? It was beautiful. It is very hard for me to watch these videos of him alive and I feel his absence again every time I do. But I would like to have copies for that someday everyone keeps telling me about when it wont ache so badly. Love, Jen "Live as if you'll die tomorrow, learn as if you'll live forever." -Gandhi
