Hi Avi, [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] sorry to hear you're so busy with work and study - makes me feel bad that I'm sitting around doing practicaly nuthin all day [img]tongue.gif[/img] Are you enjoying the study?

Happy Birthday to Cloudy's Cafe [img]graemlins/happybirthday.gif[/img]

<font size=3>Wohoo!</font> Neat! I have a virtual balloon and a slice of the cake [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Cloudy, congrats on managing such a busy place so succesfully [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Where's Jerome when you need him for a decent bekilted tabletop dance?

yeah, congrats Cloudy, i'll have a really, really cold beer please. We're having some kind of heatwave overhere, i can't even breath normally.

<font color="snow">What are you studying for? Exams? </font></font>[/QUOTE]Yes, I'm studying for a Microsot Certified Systems Engineering exam. I already have my MCSE, but I wanted to do a couple more subjects for extra qualifications. The problem is that I do the exam whenever I'm ready. This means I can study at my own pace, which believe me, is not quick!

hi avi. good luck with ur exam!

What's up Downunda??? [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I wouldn't say I'm enjoying studying, but I do feel much better about myself. I was being lazy and not challenging myself, so I've decided to turn over a new leaf. The secret to help me study better is going for long walks every Saturday morning with my husband up to the local headland. I look at all the rich people's homes and their fantastic views of the ocean. I come home all enthusiastic about increasing my qualifications and making myself more marketable. It must sound very worldly, but I really do want a nice home. I don't particularly care about owning fancy cars, or boats, or planes. I just want my family home with a view and I'll be happy.

I guess you should enjoy yourself while you can (but not for too long;) ) How have you been keeping yourself busy? Your post tally hasn't gone up too dramatically, so you must be doing something else with yourself!

Hi Calaethis!! I hope you're well. I haven't been around much lately. Have you finished reading through the WoT series (again!)

Hi Calaethis!! I hope you're well. I haven't been around much lately. Have you finished reading through the WoT series (again!)</font>[/QUOTE]yes, I havent been around much either... lol, over the wk-end I couldnt get near a pc... let alone one with the net.. had to visit my aunt... and the entire family went... 60th birthday or something. ah well. ;) so how have you been. (at least that wk-end let me chatch up with my reading...) er on bk 6 or seven now, a crown of swords. lol, and I only read bk 5 for a wk, slowly. ;)

Aviendha, i'm sure you eventually will get what you want if you work hard enough for it. And to me it sounds that you do just that, so i think you deserve it. Go get em girl :D

Hey cous [img]smile.gif[/img] Have a balloon [img]graemlins/balloon.gif[/img]

You're no big fan of visiting family members then?

<font color="snow">Yeah some extra qualifications should give you an edge over other MCSE's when it comes to getting a good job. And its good that you have found a way to get yourself motivated [img]smile.gif[/img]

btw I saw your pic on Stealthies, you look very pretty in it ;) </font>

me...well... hmm, I was kinda dragged into it... sorta along the lines of "YOU WILL GO!" (now put that in an Irenicuy sort of voice). I just hate long drives.... being cooped up in a car for 7hrs isnt my idea of fun... lol, I also HATE singing... and its inevitable that the b-day song comes up... *sighs*, besides, I miss IW. lol. It was ok I suppose....

btw come on msn!

In regards to getting a good job, I already have one. I don't plan on leaving there for a while as I learn something every day. If I get more qualifications and keep working hard, they might just pay me more to stay! I have to try!

I should get back to that study. I'll drop back later! Thanks friends. You all make me think and laugh! :D

Avi.

<font color="snow">It`s only the truth :D :D </font>

Coo! Happy Cafe anniversary [img]smile.gif[/img] !
yay! i finished Icewind Dale! though, i hoped to get more of a challenge in the last boss fight. i am in HoW right now but ive got one problem: my thief died in a battle, and i accidentally pressed on quick save. i couldnt ressurect her(She is an elf) so i threw the corpse out of my party. now, since really hate to load and kill the same enemies again, i will have to go on without a thief(ok, i can make a lvl 1 thief but i wouldnt like that) one question: is a thief
very important in HoW and ToTL?

people, have you tried this simple recepie: take an/some egg/eggs and squish it/them. then add some sugar(how much sugar you put is entirely up to YOU [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] ). then take some slices of bread, dip them in the sugar/egg goo and fry the bread on the pan. and thats it. has anyone tried to do that? i think its pretty tasty [img]smile.gif[/img] !

ooooh, just listened to the best Linkin Park song ever called Points Of Authority. this one song made me like Linkin Park again [img]smile.gif[/img]

btw, where is Horatio?

Uss, the answer is very simple: Go to an earlier saved game where your thief is still alive, export him/her, and then import her/him into HoW. Yeah, you're gonna need a high level thief, there. [img]graemlins/happybirthday.gif[/img] to Cloudy's Cafe! That's a long time for a single thread to run. [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

(Attalus and Aviendha are head to head at 750 posts! Who will be the victor? Oh no.....Aviendha has careered out of control and gone to bed!)

Goodnight everyone! I've done 3 hours of study and I'm zonked. See you all tomorrow!

Avi.

good night Avi. sleep well!

HELLO EVERYBODY! Hope you are all enjoying your cake and balloons and such! [img]graemlins/balloons.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1partyguy.gif[/img]

Azred, LOL@ the picture of Mugsly all moon-eyed over your neighbor dogs... :D

Aviendha, that's a great goal and I'm impressed - I know me,I'd be lazy and study at a snail's pace without some regular incentives! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Legolas, Yes, I think it's wonderful we've been around a whole YEAR! Whooo! That is a pretty nift thing, considering how fleeting most things are on the net! :D [img]graemlins/group2.gif[/img]

LOL! johnny you can have any cold drink in the place, maybe Attalus, Lord Shield, Avi, Scholarcs, Calaethis, uss, Nacht, LoA, Epona, Sir Goulum, Elif, Azred, Ar-Cunin, Triconan,Downunda and all the others who wander in from time to time, will join you in a toast to the Cafe anniversary and if SomeGuy will turn up the air conditioning you can be comfortable! pssssst.. Jerome can have apple juice and Lioness, please don't let him dance on the tables in a kilt! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] !

Thanks to everyone for making this a nice place to visit and for having some very interesting chats! Rest assured, I appreciate all your participation, even if you aren't named above! This place wouldn't be the same without the comings and goings of so many nice people. :D

Thanks again to Dizzy for bumping that first thread.. what a blast from the past! :D

South island? Hmmm. Ok,I wouldnot know where to go but I want to go there too now. lol.

No problem, I was just doing some work in the archives, and lo and behold the ancient thread of the original cafe, and on the same day a year latter, wild!

Well, I just got up, I need food !!!

since no one wants to cheer cloud... I think Ill just sit here in silence, sulking in a corner... ;)

<font color = lightgreen>All right! Cold drinks (any dark beer will do) and piping hot gazpacho soup! [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

gazpacho soup?whats that?

ok... fine, Ill come outa my corner since it isnt doing any good. can I have a barcadi brezzer cloud? thanks. ;)

btw are any of u on msn...?

O_o well today was a day that will live in infamy, all the embers of our party got tired of being STRONG? So they will now be cast out into an entirley new dimension and seperated and be strippped of their items and though i shouldnt be using the word and so many times in a scentence, AND they will lose all knowledge of what had happened to them in the past, My character will become reintagrated WAY WAY WAY later in the game, because he left with only the clothes on his back, too bad the clothes were a +5 Skinned Black Dragon Leather Suit, and a pair of Dragoons Boots, AAAND (again with the ands) an invisibility Cloak @_@

er what *are* you on about? am I mising something BIG here? fill me in if I am, ok???

Good afternoon, everybody. I'll have some chardonnay, please. How's the party going? :D

<font color = lightgreen>Basically, it's a really good vegetable soup; you should order it the next time you go to a restaurant. The "piping hot gazpacho soup" is a Red Dwarf reference. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] </font>

oh ok Azrad had me worried there for a sec lol

Did I hear LoA mentioned? Who am I drinking to? Good enough! A toast to WHOEVER!!!!! And NWN is at EB's at 6:00, another toast!!!!
