<font color="plum"><H2>Cloudy's Cafe</H2></font>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H2>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H2>

[i]* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner
* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!
* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)
* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.[i]

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around theworld. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy, your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE Ironworks is back! Missed this place today!

Hi! I am back. I have a very severe case of IW addiction! Hows a goin?

LOL Sis, poor thing you had to resort to work then today? The horror!!! (heehee, my boss didn't come in today, so I played DiabloII for a few hours :D Hey, nobody came in, not my fault, I had to have SOMETHING to do. Well, yeah, I probably could have done something more constructive, inventory, accounting, updating lists and dockets, etc. But none of that has priority, I can do that stuff anytime. Yeah.. that's the ticket). :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hi, all. Lord, I missed this place. Cloudy, do you know what went wrong?

ROTFL! Right LadyZ....nothing important to do! LOL Yes.. ugh.. I HAD <h3> WORK</h3> to do today...how horrid! [img]tongue.gif[/img] SO glad IW is back now! :D

Hey, I miss that flaming lady of yours in the sig when I'm not on IW! TEEHEE

LOL, oh suuuurrrre. You had WORK to do today eh? *shudder* well so sorry to hear that LOL sis. But you though I notice had TIME to notice Ironworks was down, hmmmm.... :D ;)

Oh the flaming flipping KungFuGal, yes, she is still in fine form it seems, still freeze flashes too when you have her on the screen and then back out LOL. Ah well, some things never change :D

Umm.. well, yes.. uh.. I DID just sort of check to see if Ironworks was up.. LOL [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hehe.. your girl..uh.. bounces at a few points too! LOLOLOL!

Gotta clean this place.. got family visiting soon.. think they'd notice the dust? ;) LOL [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Bounces at a few points? No! Never noticed [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Family visiting eh? When?, how long do you have? Sounds like you have a Pledge moment in your future LOL. (I like Liquid Gold though myself, just cause it smells like almonds) [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=Orange>Hi guys! Whats up in the clouds?? Ok ok bad joke. Whats up in the cafe?</font>

They are discussing LadyZ's sig..... she bounces! and my triumphant return to IW! (short lived)

<font color=Orange>She DOES bounce! And you were gone? When?</font>

Yeah, Lady Z, my stepson's three favorite sigs are yours, Reeka's and Mel's. Guess why? I guess from Z's post he had the server down fixing the infamous 30-sec delay bug.

Gala, your sigs cool too :D but I wuld go for faces and personality in r/l.

I use those 3m cloths that attract the dust. They really do a great job without any sprays. I'm allergic to alot of things so I avoid fragrant cleaners if I can, but almonds are a great scent!

LOL, those three sigs eh? Well I guess I CAN see a few similarities in some aspects doh! How old is your son?

I just basically liked her versatile animation, so that's why I snagged her up back in 2000 from Stealthy. [img]smile.gif[/img] I actually saw some action figure in Electronics Boutique (a software store) that looked just like my sig a few weeks ago, was pretty funny!

Hello, all. Tiamat...you're back! Good to see you! I was afraid that they had driven you away for good after the lashing you got the other day. You do seem kind of...subdued, though.

My favorite sig? Aviendha's, for obvious reasons.

Heya ladies, Goulum and Tiamat. EDIT: and Sir Michael ;)

Hope you're all having better days than I am.
Personally I prefer a Pine smell to Almonds (too sweet imho ;) ) and as far as sigs go, The Lady Z wins hands down (it's just cool :D )

O_O WOW what a week this is gonna be..........

need COFFEE C[_]

Help yourself Tao! :D Lots of coffee here!

He's 15 and very interested in such things. And Tiamat, you're a dear, thanks very much. ;)

So... how are we all doing in the cafe today may I ask? I've been rather scarce since my one post on Sunday... and I may not be posting that much for a little while. I know... I know... you are all very disapointed and saddened that my eccentric attitude cannot grace the floor of this grand cafe, but, *sigh* you all shall have to go on.... ;)

Accually I just won't be posting for two-three hours straigt anymore!
Thats all! Anyway... how is the weather on your sides of the world... over here, well it sucks.

Thanks, Cloudy :D your a dear....

~pours a keg barrel full of coffee, and halfandhalf, and gets a straw.........~

How is everyone?

Sup all.

Sir Mandorallen - weather sucks here, too. 48 and windy....it'll get better soon, I hope...

BK

Ahh ,
I just got off from working at the library.
So how is everybody today? Im pretty good!
Today is also my moms bday

Anything for a pretty face *well not QUITE anything but gimme some Mountain Dew and I'll rok da salza!* and Michael, I am still unfathomable in terms of my sanity, but do me a favor.......... go eat a red apple and drink tabasco! Then answer my simple question: how old am I?

I know exactly what you mean. Its night now, but earlier today---40 with winds that brought the temperature down at least 5 degrees! Man it was cold out there! It was snowing this morning! SNOWING!!! Egads! Thats not supposed to happen at this time in the year!

Snow? HAHAHAH..err.. so sorry to hear you have snow.. *giggle* WE had rain and gloom but no snow!

Spring is pretty wacky!

Well... it did turn into rain.... eventually. But it was still cold.

Oh and BTW: I have a question...

In this cafe, do we have waiters or a bartender, or is it self-service?

I still say we need entertainment. [img]graemlins/elf.gif[/img]
[img]graemlins/music02.gif[/img]
[img]graemlins/musicband.gif[/img]

I think it's self service - right cloudy?

BK

you can share my coffee... ~pulls out another straw~ *LOL* :D
[img]graemlins/bouncered2.gif[/img] (caffiene is kickin' in) [img]graemlins/bouncered2.gif[/img]

Err..Coffee thru a straw? Good way to burn your mouth...

BK

Mayhap next time I'll have that coffee. Straw or no straw! ;)
Right now I must take my leave of all of you people. It is 10:00 and I need some sleep. C-YA!!!

Its ICED coffee *LOL* I only drink HOT coffee in the mornings, in the evenings it is either iced tea or iced coffee :D

Er, TAO, dear, your left eyelid is beginning to twitch. (Makes herself a Beefeater Martini) Oh, this, this is just some mineral water. Yeah, I always drink my mineral water with an olive. I'm allergic to lemons, and olive oil is good for your heart. The little glass? It was a wedding present, yeah...

nite

BK

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchetMS"> BK: I have finally decided those eyes ARE quite scary :eek: </font>

Weather here isn't all that great right now. Had a bunch of tornadoes touch down yesterday about an hour's drive from here in Maryland, many houses completely wiped out, was an F5 Class tornado, which you hardly EVER see, I feel for those people out of homes right now ;( Weather here is a bit cool right now, I'm just waiting on Spring whenever it is ready LOL! Teased us with hot weather all last week but that was just a ruse to mess with our minds [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I KNOW! I keep forgetting to change 'em - the other one's at work (eveytime I do, they stare me down...I'm frightened...)
;)
