<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>

First post!!! Yeah baby! For the first time in my entire carreer a first post in Cloudy's Cafe!! :D :D :D

EDIT: NOOOOOOOO! Vile SomeGuy beat me to it!!! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

EDIT 2: But then again, he didn't!!

<H1><font color="plum"> PLEASE NOTE </font></H1>

This is a modified reminder that I've posted before in reply to someone asking "can we spam the cafe". It still holds true, so I'm going to repeat it periodically for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Read the first post of the thread, it's NOT a spam zone. If you want to discuss you grades, a problem with a teacher,the weather, your neighbor's new car etc.....etc.. (real life conversations) this is the place. I don't mind a SMALL amount of spam but when the Cafe gets to be 8 pages in one day and it's all one liner pure spam, I have to ask people not to do it because most of the members who would come to talk about their day or things that they want advice or sympathy or cheers on, will not post in that atmosphere. I want you to be comfy here, but not at the expense of other members.

So the answer is NO, I don't want to see page after page of roleplay spam or one liner spamfests that could be done on msn or aim etc. because our goal is to TALK WITH one another , not fill up a cafe in five hours. ;) :D HOWEVER, I'm not gonna jump on anyone for a few of these kinds of things, only if it gets out of hand. :D

Sorry CloudLady.Won't happen again. So how is everyone today?

EDIT: Link if you wanted the post so badly you just had to say so. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Close one, Link! One minute off though!

Willow, in response to your last post on the cat barf and carpet shampoo machine... [img]tongue.gif[/img] LOLOL I hope you don't need to shampoo any carpets too, but I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I have mine, because when my kitties barf they do it up in style...Merlin did his in front of the door so it spread when I opened the door...then of course I walked in it and padded along the hallway....making prints... ACK!

I swear that penguin sig just makes you seem incredibly huggable SG! :D :D :D

How is the situation with the girl? Is she still thinking? What is it you like so much about this one? :D

Does that mean we can spam the cafe? *giggle* *guffaw* I´m sorry Cloudy I couldn´t resist from posting that.

By what calender are we operating? It seems we have lost a few hours of the day. Does this mean you are going to work now Cloudy? [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Um yea.She's probably still thinking.She's spent the weekend at here grand-ma's and so we have no way to communicate.She said she'd give me an answer on Monday.As for why I like her so much...hmm I dunno. There's just something about her that I can't say...I just like her alot. :D

Dunno who came up with that. I have also seen "Amerinds," but neither is in the dictionary. And, yes, we are all of African stock, and "Eve" is all of our ultimatematernal ancestor.

New cafe, great.

No problem, Cloudy, I'm not exactly a notorious spammer anyway :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hi everyone [img]smile.gif[/img]
I see and obey your warning, Cloudy.
Does anyone else have REALLY pervy PE teachers?

No [img]tongue.gif[/img] Not anymore, at least.

And I can't really remember any of my PE teachers as 'pervy' :D

As in, huge bloke (mostly fat) who goes into the girl's changing rooms? And who insists on calling you by your last name, and is completely bonkers? I mean..."What's your name?"
"Kyra."
"Kyra what?"
"Kyra Carter."
"Well, carter, you're in detention after school.
"But sir, the only reason i haven't got my kit was because you locked it up-"
"Make that an hour on Thursday."
>;(

Horatio, you spam-jockey...no, wait that's jock stealer...sheesh, I'll get it right some day. ;)

Willow, LOL, I lose vast amounts of any day I spend on the board...uh..let's just say it's Monday and leave it at that! LOLOLOLOL ok ok... so I wasn't paying attn to the date! :D

SomeGuy, GOOD LUCK!!! :D She sounds like a special lady. ;)

[img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] I have a problem, okay?

Thanks Cloudy.She's is special to me... Hey Uncle Robby Where did you get your sig?

Deathbringer...as it says in my sig ;)

Aww shucks.. [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks SomeGuy!! My first 'First Post' in almost two years!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Yahoo! Seems to me we gotta celebrate! :D

Aww shucks.. [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks SomeGuy!! My first 'First Post' in almost two years!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Yahoo! Seems to me we gotta celebrate! :D </font>[/QUOTE]Indeed!
*serves beer to people Of legal age, Coke and Sprite to people Who Aren't :D *

LOLOLOL! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] High school can be so unfair :D

Aww shucks.. [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks SomeGuy!! My first 'First Post' in almost two years!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Yahoo! Seems to me we gotta celebrate! :D </font>[/QUOTE]Indeed!
*serves beer to people Of legal age, Coke and Sprite to people Who Aren't :D *</font>[/QUOTE]And a coke for me too! [img]smile.gif[/img] I can't drink any beer for at least four months. I have vowed not to, because I'm rowing intesively, and beer is not good for your shape and condition. Now where's that Lord of Alcohol?! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Not funny [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Secondary school, I'm a brit and as such have the snobbishness necessary.
Link, judging from your user name you're a fan of the legend of Zelda (Mmmmmm, Linky-goodness.....) is the gamecube cartoon version worth getting?

Naughty, stacking quotes! (I can forgive you because, well, you're Link) rowing? As in...physical exercise? [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

Dunno actually.. I AM a fan of Zelda, but I haven't seen the Gamecube version yet. As far as I'm concerned I'm not gonna, because I simply hate the graphics.. Yuck!!! But the story does sound good though.. *dilemma*
University just rules, you know [img]smile.gif[/img] Being able to live on your own, with ADSL (!) and not having to listen to your parents anymore. I love this life! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

Naughty, stacking quotes! (I can forgive you because, well, you're Link) rowing? As in...physical exercise? [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Ooh.. I'm so ee-vil (now where's that damn Dr. Evil smilie!!). And yeah, Kaltia, rowing as in physical exercise.. Really professional as well.. well okay.. almost professional [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/whipitgood.gif[/img]
I was so disappointed to see the new graphics. i mean, look at the demo! Fantastic, a real display of the GC's power.
And then they did THAT to the actual game. Thanks a bunch, nintendo.
Whatcha doing in University, anyway?

I can't possible imagine that blue hanging *man* being whipped is me... [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm studying archaeology, which is not as "Indiana Jonesy" as I expected it to be. And I totally second your opinion on the graphics of Zelda: the Wind Waker (which is the name of the new game). Did you know, by the way, that the creator of the Zelda series doesn't understand what the commotion concerning the new graphics is all about?? I mean: wake up nitwit! We want to see Link in all his glory, not some puny, noseless treehugging hippie!

hmm..most odd,I leave,there is Cloudy's cafe and four pages of it,now that I return here we have a new cloudy's cafe,with two pages already :eek: Kaltia,stop teasing people so much :D

Wow, I just got back from a walk and it is like a Spring day!!! It is 74 degrees, (~+20 for you Celsius fans ;) ) and the grass on the football field has greened up. The trees are well along, a glossy bud on each twig tip. Only drawback, about a 20-30 mph south wind. Darned near blew my cap off. As for the sky, it is robin's-egg blue with only a few wisps of cloud. :D

Don't make me jealous Attalus.. There is still snow outside of my window right now!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ah, well, this being Texas, just wait a while, and it will change. We had snow on the ground three weeks ago. I am trying to get <font color=pink>Galadria</font> to go to the movies, tonight, but all she will commit to is Wal-Mart.

Attalus, that sounds delightful! Now send me the nice warm weather or I'm coming down there to start storming! [img]graemlins/stormy.gif[/img] :D

Whew! I've got all my laundry but a few odds and ends done, now if only I had all my tax documents at hand, life would be perfect! :D

you woudnt mind sending me one day like that too? :D or I'll be very happy if you send only the warmth,then we would have 0C that would be good too [img]tongue.gif[/img]

oh,well,enjoy that nice weather [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Uh, sure, Cloudy. But, it'll becoming UPS ground, so may take 6-8 weeks to get there. :D Purre, we have surely enjoyed it. Now, if we only got nice cool days in August, I might start liking it better.

Bah...you sound like that Groundhog who determines when winter is gonna end, Attalus! LOL :D

SIGMAR and anyone interested, I think the CHAT room is up

http://www.ironworksforum.com/chat/chat.shtml

Goodo ! [img]graemlins/smilebounce.gif[/img]

It will be good to see the cafe return to a conversation zone, while the spam was funny it's daunting and bit hard to follow when your new [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]

Excellent, it works well. Hopefully people find it. I don't want to hang here alone.. SO JOIN UP!

hi everyone [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, Cloudy, today was Groundhog Day, and he didn't see his shadow. Not here, anyway.
Note my new avatar, everyone. Yay, Ziroc!!! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]
