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. ;)

Howdy again, Cloudy!
Heh... finally read that little disclaimer post you make. Wasn't it so much fun, though, when we filled up the cafe's in 5 hours or less? ;)
Got 61% on my math final. Not bad, considering my math mark(64%) and my actual time spent awake in that class. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well done Sir G, was that the exam where you were aiming for 20%?

I have maths tests in a week. Only need 14/50 to get a B (pass) and 20 something out of 50 to get an A (highest you can get on that paper).
I think I'll get in between B and A. The stuff we are doing is WAY to hard.
We work in modules, so group 1 does modules 8, 9 and 10.
Group 2, only one group below us, does modules 6, 7, 8. Their hardest is our easiest, so unfair :( .

Spent about an hour trying to get on top of a huge wall on WoW (one seperating two areas) and I found out there was a ramp leading up to it LOL. I felt so stupid when I found out.

Sold our house *again*. That's three times now. First time the buyers dropped out, then the second did the same, and now we are onto buyers number three. Means I can't move until end of July instead of start, no worries though.

I'm the 'lucky' one who gets to sort out everyones season ticket applications and stuff. Basically that means getting all the money and forms in, and sending them off before July 7th. It doesn't help when one person fills the form in wrong, but my corrections look fine [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well that was just telling you guys everything that has happened lately.

So how is everyone else?

Yeeeup. [img]tongue.gif[/img] They had a lot of easy questions on it, that I could just do on my calculator. That's the only thing that kept me above 50%.

Heh, well that's what it's there for! Problem with our exams are on the calculator paper there are questions about shapes, in other words questions where calculators are NO use whatsoever.

I've got a math final exam tomorrow, but it will be much easier than the ones that you are taking. I mean, how hard can multiple choice algebra questions be? :D

Other than that, I'm freakin bored. This is probably the 12th time I've checked the forum today.

*tries to remember the last exam he took - fails* Evening, all. Strange day, but not all bad. Finally got my webpage at DeviantArt going. It is really nice. Check it out, here.

*Looks around the Cafe, poking the decor*

Wow, I haven't been in here for a while. I've been more busy than I care to be, so I've had to cut down on my internet socializing time.

Had a few weeks in November and December where I was spending 80+ hours a week doing exam prep and writing papers. Much different from you lucky slackers who are doing measly math tests. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I was working in spring as part of my program, meaning that I have to be in school all summer. *Sigh* Only a year and a half left.

Welcome back, Aerich. A man get's tired of Fetnab's cooking.

But not tired of her beautiful... face. ;)

from the old cafe
Bah! [img]graemlins/oth30.gif[/img] Since you posted that Cloudy every time I see my sig all I can see is the 'umbrella' image on the front wheel :rolleyes: *seeks revenge* :D

A friend drew the picture for me many years ago. Being poor she could not afford a present, I think the picture is better than any present don't you? The original is framed, I must put it on the wall sometime [img]smile.gif[/img]

To everyone taking exams....good luck! To those who just survived them, CONGRATS! [img]smile.gif[/img]


Wellard: TEEHEE! I just got that image one time when looking at your sig and it stuck. Kinda looks like the roo's holding a bottle of beer (oil? LOL) and an umbrella! HAHA!

Love the pic and it is even more cool that it was a gift! I think it's one of the nicest things you can get from someone- something they've made themselves out of love or friendship or both. [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Another, reasonably warm and sunny day today. And I'm in the office. Not only that but the weekend may be rainy...now why can't the rain come when I'm stuck inside!?

SirG: LOL we can have fun without spamalotting! LOL

[ 06-22-2005, 11:10 AM: Message edited by: Cloudbringer ]

Are you sure? I wouldn't mind helping with that out if you want it, ya know. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)
Chem exam today... was a killer.

*hands Sir G a cookie * LOL Watch out your spamitis doesn't erupt there! :D :D

Am shivering my way through typing things at work. Never can get that ac right and the heating staff just make it worse one way or another if we complain!

Good day to everyone! Not a bad day and not a bad beginning to summer out my way! Hot and sunny.

Now if Mack would just fix my roof. :D ;) Or at least if the roofer would call us back...sigh...

Yay it's soooooo sunny :D

Bleh haven't been on these forums in a looooong time. Exams... bleh next please [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

Mmm darjeeling... good plan, works wonders on a hot day... not sure why... any ideas?

Hey everyone. Nice day here too, although the last nice one, after today back to sickly hot! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Might get a new PC real soon, sick of my old one. It now gives me a hard time shutting down of all things LOL. Just sits there with the screen that says Windows Is Shutting Down (Win98SE), but it never does! So I have to push the restart button and wait for it to boot back up again, to try again. This morning it did it three times even after I rebooted! And one time it didn't even reboot correctly, got some blue screen that said "Fatal Exception Error, Press Any Key To Continue". Well pressing any key didn't do ANY thing LOL! Gah! Sheesh I had to get to work so I just said the heck with it and held in the power button until the dang thing shut off that way. Whether it will reboot OK without errors when I get home tonight is questionable. Of course the PC is 6 years old so no doubt a new one is in order anyways, it's done it's job and done well too considering how long I've been using it.

Cloudy if I do get the thing to come up later on when I get home, I'm going to try to email you my DS savegame, if I can find it.

Sounds like it's time for that new one, LZ! I'll check my mail later for your char/savegame!

Trying to get a flight booked. But my crimminal record is holding me back. ;)

Well sitting at work. And trying to stay awake.

Hey anyone from Calgary get affected by the flood?

I somehow got tricked into digging up an old tree in next doors back garden and putting a new fence up. Four hours of gameing time gone down the drain.

Ooo! *Eats cookie* That might keep me quiet. ;)

Macky- Yeah, doesn't Pritchke live in Calgary?

Trying to get a flight booked. But my crimminal record is holding me back. ;)

Well sitting at work. And trying to stay awake.

Hey anyone from Calgary get affected by the flood? </font>[/QUOTE]ROTFL! Oh well... *goes off to call local roofers*

Q, LOL, well at least the fence is done and the tree out!

Sir G..hehe.. have all the cookies you like! :D

Yeah Sir G. He does. I am not to sure where his house is though. Maybe under water? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Yea but all the work made my slightly tender chest realy tender.

I mean she start's with a compliment before I go out for my jog/run and as soon as I get back she asks if I'd help with some stuff in her back garden, plants getting across from ours to her's, end up filling two bins full of tree limbs.

So I'm in my running stuff and I'm getting stung around the face, arms hands and uggg.

though I got a good meal out of it, and in all fairness she didn't know my chest was tender.

Lol! I would hope not. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I didn't think much of Calgary got flooded... mostly Drumheller and Medicine Hat and those places.

Hey everyone.. its been awhile since I've been here and I still remember my username and password :D Anywho, this place still looks the same (The ol' Brown and Dark Brown:P )

Well, here's hoping you don't get flooded out, Sir G. Did you hear we've opened an Ironworkers' Club over at DeviantArt?

Yeah, come and join it Sir G ;)

Cloudy I sent two DS save game files of mine to you, hopefully one of them is the right one LOL. Hard to tell what is the latest multi save..eh.. I'd have sent others but they are pretty big files and takes time to send, and will probably take time to receive on your end I reckon. Am hoping the one called illicor is the correct one since that's the area we are in presently in our game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ack, LZ, I don't have anything from you in either email! When did you send them? I'll keep checking tomorrow. I think the illicor one is the right one.

Well it wasn't that long ago. Sent it to the capp.rr addy. Both files are large, so maybe will take time to get to you?

I DID copy the files to a disc as well I think, but I'm an ameteur re burning or copying on discs, so I am not 100% it worked. It should have though I reckon so I won't need the copy I sent to you most likely, only did it to be on the safe side. Yeah, check it later and let me know if you eventually did get something from me LOL.

Gah spent the entire evening copying stuff over onto a disc, and storing all my favorite links in places LOL. Only thing I worry about is my Sacred game, not sure if the files I copied over will make it so I can load the game and insert my current game. May end up having to start over if it doesn't work. Which will suck no doubt, but then again I did get that cool expansion and could easily start over with that using the "nice" Demoness hee! Either way I'll be OK. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lol! I would hope not. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I didn't think much of Calgary got flooded... mostly Drumheller and Medicine Hat and those places. </font>[/QUOTE]Well the elbow river flooded alot of houses in Calgary. And the island accross from the Imax downtown was no longer a island. ;)

Hello everyone! Yay it's Friday once again!

Cloudy did you ever get that e-mail? If not, don't worry about it because it should now also be on a disc. And you know, I was thinking, if all else fails and I lose my character, could I not just start up DSLOA in SP, and just build up a character to level 10 or 11 and save it? I say this because I remember in one of our games Saz saying "Whoops almost loaded up my level 50 fighter!" LOL. So it must be possible. [img]smile.gif[/img]

TGIF. Hello, everyone. Just got back from my morning walk. Very warm but a nice breeze cooled us off. That's 308 miles since my New Year's Revolution. ;)

Everyone has a friday. Today is hump day at work for me. Darn it all. ;)

LZ, didn't check my mail this morning, was running late, but I will check when I get home and YAY that you saved it to disc! Save save save EVERYTHING you can because Nacht said 'oh no, that's NOT good' when I told him your pc wouldn't shut down alot of the time!

Aww, happy hump day Friday to you, then Mack!

I cannot wait to get out today! Gonna have a bbq with my hubby and our housemate and we've got several projects planned for the weekend!

It's friday and raining *sigh*. I've wore 3/4 tracksuit bottoms ALL week, the weather has been wonderful, and on friday it is miserable and wet.

I made the mistake of taking bad advice. My girlfriend has a friend (ex-friend of mine) who is, pardon my french, a total bitch. She had the nerve to say to my girlfriend "I only need you for another year [end of school] anyway". Problem is she turns on the charm when she wants something, so my girlfriend (being a bit gullable) believes her and is her best mate again. Her other friends (who I'm friendly with, useful people to know) agree with me, and someone said I should say something. Well I did, and it wasn't a pretty sight. I did it over MSN since it was late and I couldn't ring her or go round, so when I was saying all the bad things this mate has done, she took it as if I was telling her what to do. Plus she didn't know I was trying to help because I don't want anything to happen to her, and I don't want her to get hurt by this stupid friend. We half sorted things out last night, but I got kicked off the PC. We hardly talked today at school, but now things are sorted but not the same as before. I just got sick of feeling second best and I was so angry that she [my girlfriend] wasn't realising how much of a bitch this girl is. The weirdest thing is she used to be normal, now she is just a nutter, complete and utter nutter.

If I knew women were this much trouble I never would have got one [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, we're going out tonight so I hope things will just be normal!

Are girls always two faced? They slag off their mates to other girls, and then are best friends the day next. It's really confusing.

Hope everyone elses days have been fine and dandy, and I hope the weather is better than it is here!

[Edit] I realise I went OTT on the exclamation marks! Ah well! It's friday! I can let my hair down! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/Edit]

First off, Ivellis gets a hug cuz he sounds a litte distraught. :D Second, you can't really be off-topic here, it's all 'off' topic that's what the Cafe is for. Just imagine you wandered in, sat down and just told the guy next to you all about your troubles. [img]smile.gif[/img] Have some coffee or tea or a glass of lemonade and relax and talk with everyone!

And no, not all girls are like that, I can promise you! I can't promise you'll ever truly understand the feminine half of the world, but I can say we're not all like your gf's friend!

Hang in there, relationships do take some work but they're worth it!
