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:

<H3>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H3>

[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.

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 [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Darn< Memnoch got the first post. How are you today, Cloudy? Everyone?

HI all... at college... bloody net work restrictions [img]tongue.gif[/img] still, they left out IWs... bad day today.lol, tooo long... annoying... Java should be a "fun" lesson... well it WOULD have been if the guy who was taking it wouldnt stutter so much: imagine Khalid with a northen accent, (english northern) who talks too much and too fast so that no-one understands him, "Yes you do this then this, oh and if you need help here, and blah blah blah... by the way if you... etc etc etc Oh and... perhaps if you..." yuk :| lol, THEN we have to do an english unit... or so it seems... "note taking" :| etc... 3 assignments... hmm, seems like english GCSE again.. powerpoint presentaion... currently, Im on a break... stupid tutor... I dont CARE about how she takes notes, I do it my OWN way... then she photocopied a piece of a magazine... "broadband" and made US take NOTES on it on PAPER... and HERE we are SITTING IN FRONT OF A KEYBOARD! A PC! AGRGH! I'm on a friking pc coruse! WHY!?!
erm,a nyway, rant over [img]tongue.gif[/img] how are all of you? (damn these mouse's dont have wheels... bah!)

Memsypie... ;) I answered your pm... you're getting soooooooo senile in your moderate old age....hehe!

Attalus, this morning was a crazy circus in my office! One TA borrowed a vcr last night and locked it in her office, but my key is missing so I couldn't retrieve it and it was supposed to be used by another TA this morning. Same happened with a 2nd machine but I didn't know WHERE it was (have a key and finally DID find it) because the faculty member didn't sign for it. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Then a mtg was taking place and they needed copies but the copier is acting up and I had phones ringing, sorting of the messed up copies, missing vcr's AND a fac member locked out of her office all at same time as chair needing numbers of majors and a PhD student I had to set up with her written exam today.... ACK! Tea, Calgon.....take me away! :D

Hi huys, just finished typing an essay. I think I did quite well. I'll probably be going down to the track soon for some sprints, but I GOTTA get something to eat first!!!

Hi guys I'm at college too right now and on lunch. Its a pitty that the pooltables aren't available right now, or I'd be playing.

<font color = lightgreen>Good afternoon, all! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] afternoon by about 10 minutes, that is....

Totally overcast and rainy here. On the other hand, this cool front will mark the end of summer weather in this area. Another autumn is well on its way. Must be time to break out the long-sleeved shirts and sweaters.

<font color = white>TJ</font> was taking his lunch today, yet still thought he needed to take money to the cafeteria for his lunch. He must be really hungry! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

Cloudy, that sounds awful. I'm sure that you were calm and good-humoredly above it all, like the Cheshire Cat. ;)

Azred, it has been raining all morning, here, too. Yay for hurricaines in the Gulf, and cool fronts. ;) You can tell a person is from Texas if the phrase "cool front" brings a smile to his/her face.

Hey Melkor, maybe Horation can play pool with you if you find a pool table!

Azred, don't you feed that poor kid? ;) :D

Attalus...ack, I felt like tossing a few things around the office and hallway! But yes, I tried to run from task to task without screaming "I WANT A HOLIDAY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!" ;) :D

hello everyone...
im awaiting the arrival of a chat troll but he aint coming back....
so howis everyone?
<s>Felix</s>

LOL, Cloudy, that reminds me of the old office sign, "I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I have worked for it, I deserve it, and I am really looking forward to it." ;)

Hm, Horation? Cool, a new member! ;)

Hm, Horation? Cool, a new member! ;) </font>[/QUOTE]ROTFL! Yes and he/she is a figment of my typgraphical errors today! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Happy hunting Cloudy ;)

Hi! It's been another busy day/night/morning/afternoon for me (depends where you are). I just downloaded "My Neck, My Back" off of the internet. [img]tongue.gif[/img] The clean version is a very cool song. ;) I'm pissed off because I can't play NWN because I lent it to a friend, but he won't get around to playing it! He said he would give it back to me, but hasn't yet. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] So how is everyone else doing?

hmm, well bed beckons again... this calling from it's begining to get annoying ;) hehe. anyway, goodnight all, (again) and yuk, College tommorw... hehe. ah well. cyas all later, have a great day/night/whatever ;)

Heya everyone, hope all going well.

Afternoon, all. We have had a major bummer, here. A six-year old boy got run over by a school bus and Galadria was called to try and resuscitate him. I fear the worst. She just came in the door, and I don't think it went well.

Sorry to hear that Attalus, i guess in your line of work you get to see some pretty nasty things sometimes.

Thanks, Johnny. No, it didn't go well. Gal is really upset. I'll be back on, later.

At a soccer practice in a nearby school, some people brought some dogs (rottweilers) to the game. A little boy was playing with one of the dogs and flapped its ear, and it got mad and bit the boy's face. The dog's teeth cut across the boy's nose and down to his chin, and I don't think he is doing well. The boy is having trouble breathing, among other things. The dog, however, is going to be put to sleep. Good riddance.

Jeez thats terrible Johnny. Give my regards.

Yeah Willard, two people who lived literally next door to my elementary had about six rottweilers untamed, who lived in a fenced area behind the house. One of them got out, and we had to skip lunch hour. Since then the city imposed some new limits, and the school's moving anyway.

As for me, totally sick today. Barely able to get out of bed, but it went away quick thank gawd.

<font color=pink>Hewwo everyone! These freaking RPs are keeping me busy. When im at school everyone in the Captive thread posts like a whole page so i have to catch up, ugh.

Well, i got to see my brother today, yay [img]smile.gif[/img]
Im finally getting a new cell tomorrow! :D
Im seeing my Travis Friday Saturday and Sunday :D
I showed my horse today and got Grand Champion :D

How is everyone else :D </font>

You're seeing Beavis the whole weekend ? That's gonna be a lot of giggles. :D

Hi all... damn college again.... a 2hr lecture straight... with "Julie" had her last year... shes THAT bad... *glances around, good shes not here, Thank God...* how all u? (damn assignments first lesson, and SHE gives us an assignment?! Intereviewing ppl! ARGH! 6 interviews... comapnies at that... 2 comercial, 2 industrial and two public serive... its awful...) soz, ignore the typos, gotta type fast... [img]tongue.gif[/img] anyway how all of u?

'ello every1 [img]smile.gif[/img]
I am back...but not this weekend. I was caught on MSn while i should have been writing about a Lady of Letters damnit *cries*
My mum banned me from the internet the entire week...she is evil, no?

Whacky, I ave one thing to say...look at Calaethis' signiture...and tell me if he's goig to do anythig for you now I hold the key to his heart (wow, that actually sounded romantic!)
Now beat t, you annoying mutant! [img]graemlins/whipitgood.gif[/img]
God I have REALLY missed that animation! (Alright, Whaky, MAYBE I will forgive you.)

<font color = lightgreen>But of course. Actually, at almost any given meal he will wind up eating more than I do. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] I think he will be bigger than me by the time he reaches 14....

Attalus, what a horrible loss for that poor family. [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] *sigh* Will Galadria be ok? I could not begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in that situation....

On a lighter note, <font color = red>Belle</font> and I taped the first two episodes of Push, Nevada. So far I like it, but I need to watch them again more closely to look for the details--license plate numbers, room numbers, paintings, etc. What kind of car is Jim driving, by the way? [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

Good morning, everyone. Looks like the start of a really great weekend so far. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

Huh? R-r-r-ro-what?! thats horrible! *runs screaming* The key to my what?! What key?! ARGH! [img]tongue.gif[/img] ok, so that was over the top...

Azred, hi, thanks for your concern. The worst part of the whole thing was that the mother watched the whole thing, and the idiot bus driver ran over the poor kid twice. <font color=lavender>Galadria</font> will be fine, I'm sure, she has been through so many bad ones before, but she keeps thinking about, what if it had been Carson ... er, Piestrider [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...or Will. It's rough to be a mom, as I am sure that <font color=red>Belle</font> knows well. But, on a lighter note, I can't remember a finer and prettier morning. Cool, like a fall day, which, of course, it almost is. ;)
Kaltia, bummer about your grounding, but mothers are like that. Fathers, too. I can hear myself telling Piestrider, "Nothing good ever happened on MSN." LOL

THATS HORRIBLE! TWICE?! BY A BUS! *looks shocked* ...bloody hell... poor kid... poor Gal.. poor you...

Att... MSN... good for nothing?! thats... :( nasty. lol. Stupid Kat, she should have used "alt tab" [img]tongue.gif[/img] and shut the door ;) hehe. lol, that way u can tell when someones gonna come in, u hear em... ;) ...

Am at work, oh joy joy joy.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Azred, I believe it! Kids are like kittens- they can eat twice their body weight at ever meal for ages and then pick at it food like it's poison for a while and they grow like weeds! :D

Hi Cloudy... at work? lol, just finished college for the week. Kids like kittens? are you sure? [img]tongue.gif[/img] how r u anyway? oh wiat, ur at work ;)

ick. off now. bb later. around 8-ish or so, english time ;) cya, and have a great wkend, all of u. ;)

Hey Att, that's horrible. Have my sympathy and pass it on to Galadria.

Kids? Kittens?
Yeah, sure, why not. I can't wait til I have one of my own, running around, always landing on their feet, scratching at the sofa :D ;)
