<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>

<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

First post. :D

Good morning/afternoon, johnny!

It's a BEAUTIFUL day here, so I just wanna know, WHY am I stuck in the office? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, you could stay at home, but then you'd have a hard time getting food on the table. :D

Good morning yourself, i just got home from work, and we had a warm day, but there is thunder in the air, you can feel it. Predictions were that we'd have thunder and lightning during daytime, but i made it home dry, now i don't care anymore what happens. I'm inside now. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

LOL, true, my cat's might object if I couldn't buy cat food! :D
HAHAHAHA! I agree, once you're inside, let it rain, thunder etc! Well, unless you have to go back OUT, that is!

Enjoy your evening, johnny! How's the pc situation? Any news on that now?

Nope, still nothing. I know it's going to be fine though. I'm doing business for over 3 years with those people. My first PC also came from them, as well as my cable connection. They just messed things up with the paperworks, a little more than a week ago i faxed them a copy of my ID card, which they lost somehow.

Anyway, i expect a phonecall from them one of these days, for an appointment for delivery. *Wonders how many times he said that* :D

G'day every one

It has been a lovely day here in sydney, warm enough to have lunch out on the patio with a friend while the kids played in the sandpit. But now it is dark the temprature has dropped. Summer is over and the PJ's will be dusted off tonight. brrrrrr [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Good morning. I was up with the "vomicking virus," so I just got to work. Yuck, I am envious of people who can take sick days.

Att, drink 2 pints of orange juice (with about 2ml of vodka), have some toast with curry sauce over the top, and finish with a chocolate bar. This will do nothing for your illness, but it'll give you one hell of a breakfast ;)

Sup guys. Spent today job-hunting. Finally found one in a tiny indian resturaunt. Not as good pay as my last job, but the uniform is a LOT better.

<font color=lime> Well as long as you look good, all is great! [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D </font>

Yeah, it is! The cafe I used to work in gave out yellow-and-purple striped t-shirts and tight trousers :rolleyes: This resturaunt is a lot classier :D

Awwwww TL, it sounds like you need a hug ..... why not ask one of your senior patners for one! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Afternoon, all. Still nauseated but still at work. Ate an oreo, and that was a mistake.

hey Att, try eating saltine crackers and drinking ginger ale, it always helps me

SM, a red limo? LOL never seen one that color!

Aww, TL, did they forget to turn out the lights and put up the moved sign again? ;) :D

PSSST! antryg, why'd you leave that trail of breadcrumbs anyway? *snicker*

Lord K, waaaaaaah, I want to be out trimming my roses! It's too nice out here and I have no desire to work! Neither does my boss, who came in at noon and is leaving about 3....so she handed me some extra things to do... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Geez, Attalus, don't doctor's get sick days? :( I hope you feel better soon!

[img]graemlins/whackya.gif[/img] for TL; my mum buggers off to Amsterdam tomorrow.

Can cats be incontinent? Only...well...it sorta wet itself....the other cat is giving it a wiiiiiiiiide berth [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cloudy, nope. If I don't see 'em, they don't get seen. Kat, we have to give our old dog DES pills to keep her from "leaking."

Why ? Don't they have coffeeshops in London ? :D

Only if you like Starbucks!
[img]graemlins/whackya.gif[/img] for Johnny too. I'm nothing but fair.

lol yeah it is a burgandy red, it is awsome inside too red lights moon roof lol agg if i dont get off here i will never take a shower and go,lol

I wasn't talking about coffee silly. [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img]

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE EXPECTING!!!!!! I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!! I LOVE BABIES....YAY!!!!!

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE congrats Revruby.

I love babies....on toast, in sandwiches etc [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Congrats revRuby.

YAY! Congrats Rev! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Attalus, you can´t take a sick day? Amazing. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] I can, although it is a living *insert bad word* to get one. ;) The infection argument works pretty well though, wouldn´t want to be coughing while carving. ;) I hope you feel better. [img]smile.gif[/img] How large a hospital are you working in? Are you one of few physicians? We tend to have backup if one of us should get sick.

thanks everyone!

[img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] WHAT?!? ...... Please say that you don't view your patients as pot roasts! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] LOL [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I mean, I've heard some pretty callous remarks by soldiers, but we're in the business of damaging bodies - not FIXING THEM!

*makes mental note not to appear on Willow's kitchen/operating table*

Horatio, your thread is now officially crap. :D Dang I just can´t stop teasing people today. :D Good call I say! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

To change the subject; how is everyone? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well up here carving is the expression. :( Don´t worry. There is a huge difference between a patient and a pot roast. I get to eat the latter. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D
