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

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>

* 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]

Whoa... you're really going through a lot of them, Cloudy.

<H3>For future reference: From now on all new Cafe's will be made by me, and if they get over 180 and I'm not around, by either Lioness or LadyBlue who should both check to be sure there isn't a new one already. If neither of them is around, the thread can go to 200 or so before needing to be terminated.

<font color="snow">The only time anyone else should start a new thread is if I have specifically asked them too. </font> This is at the request of the GD mods to avoid the confusion of multiple Cafes.</H3>

Just a reminder, it's been a while since I posted this in a Cafe! Lots of new faces and people returning from being away now! :D

LOL yes, it sure looks that way! Some days we zoom through a thread and some days we crawl along, sipping our tea! :D

Don´t worry Cloudy. There´s only three Cafes made today :D . Nothing like the original of course. [img]smile.gif[/img] It was a tad more confusing when we had that bar plus several cafes a day ;)

ach, I was waiting around in the old one. lol, wondering why no one was posting [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehehe.

Yea, certainly was! Hey cloudy, just curios...I think that you said that if noone else was online, then I could start a new one. Just confirming. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So, you mean me, CD, Kaltia's and antryg's little thread on punishing innocent moose was an unofficial thread. :(

So now that I'm out of that accursed room in the back, I'm going to play some solo SoA+ToB with a sorc. I see what everyone means about the powerhouse. Yikes! :D

Lol, lemme alone.. I need a strong drink... a V strong one..

A strong drink sounds good. Make that two!

Boohoo, I'm not old enough to drink. Oh well, a virgin pina colada please, Cloudy!

LOL, I'm only 17, but I have an excelent reason...

Well, I'm only 15, and I'm sure johnny can tell you you don't need a reason. :D

I'm 22, so I don't need a reason!

In fact, you could say that is my reason.

lol, well, when you have a reason, why pass it up...? [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe, well, to cut it short, everyone knows that you ppl "married" me to Kaltia on IWs... [img]tongue.gif[/img] well... erm, *cough* I kinda her asked her out for real. And she said "yes". she'll prob gut me for telling you [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol, so I erm... need a drink or something. ;)

And what would that be my dear? You have a lovely wife and a loving family in law. Life must be perfect! And of course there´s me who constantly picks on you :D :D Anyways don´t drink or you´ll turn into johnny. Hmmm maybe that´s not a bad thing after all ;)

Lol, look above you "aunty" willow ;)

Is a drink in celebration or a drink to calm your nerves or what, CD?

We may need more drinks, in that case.

Yes I read that after I´d posted lol. "Us people" did well in marrying you off to Kaltia then [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I wonder what she´ll say after she reads that though. Time to fetch your armor perhaps CD? But I don´t understand why you´d be nervous. You´re already married so you obviously know eachother well ;) :D . Anyways what I´m trying to say is good luck. [img]smile.gif[/img]

lol, calm my nerves I guess. hehehe, I've got too much sugar in my blood, thats all I've eaten today, save a meat sandwich at supper...

Oh thank you aunty Willow! you dont mind if I call you that do you? *grin* hehe, yes, you ppl DID marry me off, and at the time I mentioned in passing to her over msn it WOULD be irronic if we ended up going out with each other... ;)

*edit, bah, I cant spell "thank you" it seems... :|

I think I can see why, lad. I've only been here a month, and Kaltia seems like a real fiery one. Good luck to you! In any case, we'll get a drink or two, and some food too.

LOL, Aye, aye she is fiery. ;) hehe, a real "hothead". ok, I shoudl stop that [img]tongue.gif[/img] *grin* In fact I should go to bed... lol. [img]tongue.gif[/img] but not just yet ;)

You see, attempting to maul me to death really brought you guys closer together. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

You haven't had your drink yet! You can't go to bed until then! Who else will I drink with then?

Hate to dissapoint, but no True moose ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] it wasnt your mauling, hate to break it to you, old boy. ;)

Hmm aunty Willow? I kinda like that [img]smile.gif[/img] Sounds like something out of a bad horror movie :D I think Kaltia will lead you on a merry chase though CD [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img] And don´t you dare show up drunk when meeting her or I´ll swim over that little lake separating us and give you a whack ;) :D

*grin* you mean you dont smack me already? *innocent look* I remember YOU smacking me during that absur- erm, the wedding. *grin* drunk me? nah, I dont drink much. ;) no really. ;) one, maybe two at the most [img]tongue.gif[/img]

True Moose can probably help you out with that Starshadow. All us Canadians can handle the strong stuff. Well not me since I´m not allowed to drink. *mumbles under her breath*

Starshadow, just because I'm not allowed to drink doesn't mean I don't...not to imply anything illegal or anything. ;)

Aww, but I´ve stopped smacking you haven´t I? I promised I´d stop and I tend to keep my word (well when I want to at least ;) ). One or two what? *gives CD a suspicious look* One or two bottles of wine? Vodka? Naah nevermind I don´t wnat to know I guess ;) :D

LOL Willow, I dont DRINK vodka. [img]tongue.gif[/img] or wine, iccky stuff. Heh, I mean glass's or whatever. I dont even wanna be tispy. ;)
*edit* you'd say you'd stop smacking me til I needed it or something Auntie Willow ;)

LOL! Imply anything illegal! I love that comment [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] As to why I´m not drinking, it´s a woman thing? Ponder about that for a moment lol ;)

EDIT: What a lovely bracket I´d left at the top. Gone now though [img]smile.gif[/img]

[ 11-02-2002, 06:52 PM: Message edited by: WillowIX ]

I wouldn't think that of you, True Moose! ;)

I've seen Canadians with their alcohol. I live in Michigan, afterall. But I always welcome drinking buddies!

Willow, you can still join us. Just drink something else. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Vodka is the devil's drink. I won't touch that unless it's mixed in something.

Not in heavy amounts, LS, but hey, I'm still a teenage guy, y'dig? :D

ick, I've only eaten sugar today and a meat sandwich for supper; I think I'm crashing from all teh sugar intake...

*grin* so your saying that russians.... *breaks off with another cheeky grin*

I know all about it Moose. ;) I was at that age not too long ago, afterall.

EDIT: I would never speak bad about Russians. They drink that stuff like it's water. You got to give them some credit.

Wine? Icky stuff? Oh dear you´re sadly lacking in your manners my dear nephew. When you get older you´ll find that a bottle of wine, some flowers and a romantic dinner can get you out of the most hazardous moments ;) . And DO NOT forget the chocolate :D . How about I promise not to smack you period? Unless of course Kaltia asks me to... :D

Won't happen. After all, now she can smack him around any time, physically and it falls under the subject of domestic abuse. ;)
