<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>

Lo dudes.

<font color=pink>Greetings all! And Happy Valentine's Day!!
Things have been going great here in SoCal. Got some rain mixed with 60 degree weather(oh so nice), got a nice box of truffles from my best friend...ah, going out to test drive some cars with my mom...and no i still don't have my license [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Going to Chiles for lunch/dinner before it gets too crowded as well. Hope you all are having a wonderful V-day, and if youre not, I still love you :D </font>

Good evening, Jen. Nice place you have got, here. Yeah, that weather sounds like what we are getting in Texas. We aren't going out tonight, too crowded. We are going to do it tomorrow night, and <font color=pink>Galadrai</font> can show off her new earrings. Did you know that Chili's started in Dallas? My Ex and I used to eat at #1, over on Greenville Avenue, all of the time, as we lived just around the corner.

Aargh, not again! It seems I am the confused one now. ;) Ah well, time to cut and paste. ;)

The wonders of medicine. ;) It still amazes me how resilient children are. Running a high fever in the morning, running about in the evening (sometimes with a little help though). I wish I was like that. Saw your reply in Gnarf´s thread. *snicker* I agree, it was too easy. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

NiceWorg, no alcoholic beverages in the cafe. [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img] Some people in here can´t hold their liquor. ;) Let´s see who retorts to that. LOL! :D

Yeah, I noticed that especially on pediatric surgery. You could repair a hernia, and they would be climbing the walls by evening. Pain, what pain? On the other hand, when they are sick, they are sick. We had a little girl, 8, with leukemia, die from a perirectal abscess. :(

...Never get a doctor involved in kiddy discussions again.....

<font color=pink>Hello there Bill [img]smile.gif[/img]
I have to vouch for Chilis chicken ceasar salad...I've never tasted better salad...it's just sooo good! OO you got Galaria some earrings? How sweet :D Tell her I say hi [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

<font color=purple> runs into the cafe, slips and slams into the jukebox again... howdy all [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Yes, Jen, I got her some ruby and diamond ones that I found on the Net. They look really good on her, but then, what doesn't? I shall tell her you said hi. Sorry, Kat, but pediatric surgery is hours of stupefying boredom interspersed with moments of stark terror. :(

Awww! Not what one expects. :( This is what I fear when working in the pediatrics ward. I must say my short career has been blessed with a lack of fatalities. We do have good teams here. We had a young patient with pulmonary atresia. He came to the hospital too late though. :( Too many APCA´s and not enough pulmonary arteries. :(

I know the one you mean Att. I ate there the first week it was open and they were slloowww. We were the only customers in the place. All of the waitresses were sitting around drinking marguritta's because they were so bored. My the times have changed. It's weird that we have been around the same places so often. I was only a couple of miles from the Galleria yesterday when your blond runner was there. I was going to kid you about it but didn't want to seem like a cyber stalker :D . Isn't the world a small place?

LOL! You should have dropped by the salon. Entered and screamed, "Hello Lady Galadria!". I wonder what would have happened. LOL! :D Reading the rest of your post I came to the conclusion that perhaps I should have become a waitress instead. [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]

Willow, I want to read your book on how to make friends and influence people. I go into the salon and shout "Howdy Galadria" and she smiles and says "Security! Security!" We could follow that up with a nice discussion of Lynrd Skynrd lyrics when Att shows up. "Give me three steps, give me three steps Attalus. give me three steps towards the door." :D

You know Antryg, you´re the first person to ever say that. LOL! Well I gave Cloudy some excellent peice of advice earlier on how to make friends. Throw a copy machine at them. If that doesn´t get their attention , nothing will. ;) And then there´s the old "Place a scalpel on persons chest, chant *cut, cut, cut*" I can guarantee you will have 100% influence over that person. Want to hear more? LOLOL! :D

LOL, Antryg, it's hard enough to get her to post here, any more. But, she does have a good sense of humor. Had to, to marry me. The first time I went to that Chili's, it had already gotten popular, that would be 1977. I remember, I had an Old Timer, a small bowl of red, and several margueritas.

Eeerm... you didn't happen to damage the juke box, did you ? :D

Willow. I'll listen to any advice or sweet talking you want to offer. As my old grandpa used to say "A woman with a sharp knife just can't be beat." I think he meant it as a compliment but others in the family think it refers to that time when dinner wasn't on the table and he went after a willow switch right before my grandma pulled the big carving knife out of the kitchen drawer and...... [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] Att, confuzz me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was combat???

Oh and Happy V Day All!

I've heard you say enough times how hard it is to get her to post. I've seen your family pic in Stealthy's and you don't know how hard it was for me not to pop over to Tony and Guy's and start talking to her about Will's piano recital etc. I think that what stopped me was an old family legend about my grandma and the big carving knife. :D

Just dropping in to say hello [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, I've heard it said about a lot of things, Night Stalker. The practice of anaesthesia was the first one.
Antryg, yes she is indeed purty, but those blue eyes can shoot fire out of them. I just got back from refereeing a dispute between she and Will, who had gotten into his Valentine's candy and eaten 10 pieces.

Just checking to see what my icon is now, if it's changed. I want one of those Knight of the Rose things, but am I past that? ;)

EDIT: Harper...cool stuff. [img]smile.gif[/img] And I like the submit to the Choc when you post...

From prev cafe:
You want higher rates? Come to NJ! Cousin Vinnie will give you a great insurance plan! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Hey all... just got back from my snowboarding trip to switzerland... NOW i understand the first line in your sig Lady Blue... as I have been away for 10 days... I see that the quotes look different now... well done Z... and nice new KFG Lady Z

Hey everyone, just droppin in to say hi..Hows it going?

Good morning. It´s 4.30am and I can´t sleep. [img]graemlins/sleep3.gif[/img] Don´t know if I should put on some coffe and take a shower or simply head back to bed.

Hello LadyZ. Is that KFG´s new outfit we´re seeing? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Night Stalker, a talkshow ehh? Well it couldn´t get worse than Doctor Phil. ;) "You want a piece of me lady?" LOL!

Nessy and Jerome both back on the same day? What a "coincidence". ;) Hello Lioness.

Hi Someguy. Keep it clean in here. Some of the men in here made a mess while drinking. Perhaps we ought to ask Cloudy to add a penguin in the greeting somewhere. A small dedication to our dedicated swqeeper.

Antryg, a carving knife? :eek: I have to try that out on the hubby. Of course he would never dream of switching me, but it could come in handy when there´s work to be done in the garden. ;)

OK, time to go fix some much needed coffe. [img]graemlins/goodmorning.gif[/img]

*sniffle* Nessy, you taught me all I know *loud bawl*
We had Jerome first, then Nessy. Maybe Jerome was right and you are the same people...weird....

Plus like I told him, we shoved the couch in the "CONFISCATED AND DANGEROUS" cupboard to keep it safe :D
