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. ;)

First post! :D

Now that I have it I will right something. It's Saturday morning and I just got up and ate some serials but I am sooooooooo tired becuase I went to sleep at 1 AM yesterday.

Ahh, thanks, this will hit the spot!

So, my wife starts ripping out all the Christmas stuff last night, then she gets on the phone. Now it's all sitting there and she has a course all day today and works tonight 'til midnight. I'm so tired of all the material stuff in the house. I just can't make her understand that Christmas seems so much more to me. All these stupid snowmen all over the house. She must have over 30. Then there's the stupid looking Reindeer with lights on it's antlers and she never respects my wishes to put things up just before Christmas and leave it well into January.

Well guys, I'm off this morning to beginning the SAT's, I'm not too worried about it, just going to be a long four hours. See you all then.

Have fun and good luck!

I have a Japanese exam tomorrow that will take about the same amount of time... 2 15 to 6 30

But before that, I am acting as a ball boy for a local rugby tournament. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I went back to bed. It was just too early. And I enjoyed second breakfast! No exams for me! Just a little house cleaning I guess.. and laze around at the cafe and chat.

Hi! I went to my aunt becuase I am home alone and she did nice pallea (sp?) for me. It was delicious. I have to clean my flat a little. Tomorrow I will get Vampire: The masqurade - Bloodlines. [img]smile.gif[/img] I can't wait.

We won the hockey match against number 1 with 2-1 making us 2nd or 3rd now :D Also a team pic was made I'll post it as soon as they uploaded it.
