<font color="deepskyblue"><font size="5">Cloudy's Cafe</font></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:

<font size="5">this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</font>

* 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.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. 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
& Sir Mandorallen,
Who brought it to you today. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

1st post

<font color="silver">YES! The first time I got to post The Conversation Zone!!!

HORAY!!</font>

<font color="silver">Hey SomeGuy, did you resolve that situation with that bully yet??

I hope everything is going okay. </font>

Yeah, I hope things are going well with those bullies too, SomeGuy. Anyway, 4th post! Yippee! (I think) Hey, how can this be June 24th's cafe if it is still the 23rd? Weird.
I wonder how one goes about being something official... like an official Ironworks riddlemaster, for example. I don't think that there are any of those yet, or as of late, or something.

It's better to just creep the hell out of them for the rest of their lives, and then spread false rumors which lead to their eventual arrest later in life if not several divorces and remarriages, rather than deal with bulleys by either tyring to level with them or putting up with them :D

<font color="silver">Uhh... Willard, it IS the 24th. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just look at the old Cafe. It says the 24th too and that one was made today. </font>

Well my bullie prob has not changed because I only see the bully on the days of my baseball games or practices.

<font color="silver">Hey SomeGuy, I hope you find a way out of that mess, whatever the result.

Well, I guess I'm outta here. Its kinda late and I'm tired.
[img]graemlins/yawn.gif[/img] <---- That guy is yawning. Whoa. It looks like he is yelling at the top of his lungs. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

Anyway, I'm gone. C-ya! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] </font>

Bye Sir M [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

ACK! Sir M.. it was sweet of you to make the new thread but you changed the setup of text and COLORS! Ack! tradition, my dear.. it's supposed to be the same each time... sigh.. you can edit it, or I can start a new thread.. don't want to break our ONE YEAR run as we move into the second year of the thread! :D (don't worry, I'm teasing you a bit, but I do like to maintain that first post as it was, because this IS a continuing thread for all intents and purposes.)

PS, as a general rule, gang, I'm trying to do the upkeep and make then new threads these days. We don't need to automatically make them at any specific number under 300 posts, but I do it to keep the threads viable and reasonable for new readers. So you don't need to rush to make a new one if it's under say, 180 posts unless you know I'm away. :D

But if you do need to (when I'm away or it gets over that 180 mark and I've not made a new one, please faithfully copy the ORIGINAL first post, don't change colors, wording or setup. IF you like, you can add your own name under the 'hostess' line, since you're helping,though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hello, everybody. :D There's just one thing I want to share with you all.

I'm constantly consumed with this obsession with macho-looking male physiques. In particular I long to look like this man someday. Do you reckon I'm sick or something? What do you suggest I should do?

ive read all the books even the stupid guide to the world ofwot , the one with the terrible drawings

lol; did u see my thread? you cant have read *all* the bks, book 10 isnt even OUT yet, lol. btw was the world of the wheel of time any good. I didnt get that... will at somepoint. prob when Ive finsihed 're-readin' the entire seris. lol; 4 wks, and already onto bk 7. (goignly slowly) *grins*

well ive read what is out (as is probaby obvious [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) well it does really EXPLAIN alot about the age of legends and lots of other things going on between that age and the current one do u know when 10 is coming out by the way?

I doubt much will have changed when I get back. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm here now CD!!!! Hey everyone! I'm sending a big hug out to all my IW friends. You know who you are!

I'm just soooooooo sick of studying! All I've done all week is work, study, work, study, (Wimbledon), work, study! I can't wait to get this subject done and move on.

I want to play Thief 2! I stupidly played the first couple of missions during an extended study break, and now it's all I can think of! I love it.

Anyone seen Downunda????

Hi Avi. poor you with all that studying... lol; me Ive actaully just finsihed college, on my summer break now. would u like a coffee? oh yeah, and readin WoT slowly.. theif 2, got the first one, is the second one any good?

Yeah, the second so far seems as good as the first one. They really can't be beaten for atmosphere!

And yes, I definitely want that coffee. Lleyton plays at Wimbledon in about an hour, so I'm going to be up late tonight!

GO LLEYTON!!!!!!

*mutters darkly* 'about net connections timing out' *walks over to Avi, bows, and hands her her coffee* so, been up to much else?

Yeah, good question, where is Downunda ? Haven't seen him in a few days. Maybe he is on a holliday ?

Hi Johnny!!!! How are you?

I get the feeling that maybe Downunda had a big night on the weekend and is still recovering! [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

Otherwise, he's concentrating on getting a job! [img]smile.gif[/img]

lol; well, Im going off for a while, (if anyone cares) gotta eat some lunch... cyber foods all well and good, but... a rangers gotta keep his strength up ;) *cheeky grin* btw cloud, nice coffee.

Couldn't agree more, Cloudy. It is very disorienting to have the Cafe' change all of the time. Good morning, everyone. Glad to see that Mouse closed the 'Hugs' thread, it was getting rather heated...

Hugs thread???? What did I miss?

you...missed nothing Avi.. Avatar was just being... yes well. he wanted ppl to hug him. LS hi-jacked the thread and asked for KICKS insted. rofl, was funny, especailly when Avatar started sulking... uugh back from Lunch, I ate too much i think, 2 burgers, 2 eggs, half a plate of chips, cheese... Cloudy, may I have a coffee please?

Hi Johnny!!!! How are you?

Otherwise, he's concentrating on getting a job! [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Hi Avi, i'm fine, how are you ? A bit of a late reply here couse i was watching the Germany- Korea match (*sigh* Germans won). You must be in kind of a good mood with Wimbledon on the way ? I hope good old Krajicek can still handle his racket a bit, at least he made it through the first round. What are Hewitt's chances, you think ?

[ 06-25-2002, 09:51 AM: Message edited by: johnny ]

the germans won?! damn! I was hoping Korea would win the contest... if only as a novelty. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

What a shocking first round match to have. If he gets through it, I think he'll breeze get through to at least the round of 16 without a problem. His form hasn't been great, but he normally wins anyway.

I'll be backing him all the way.

*grumbles about slow connections, and slow convos...* so what did I miss?

where did the post about my wreck go?????

Hye guys.Whatcha up to?

Couldn't have described it better, myself. Afternoon, all.

<font color=Orange>Hi...*pant pant pant*I had to walk home from my school today. About 2 K in about 30 degrees Celcius weather (i think thats about 90 F). I am dead [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Hello everyone. [img]smile.gif[/img] *ribbit*

This seemed like the kind of place to get a warm welcome.... so hi! [img]smile.gif[/img]
