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.

Happy New Cafe, all! I'm off to bed but will be on vacation for a bit so try not to eat all the cookies. I'll leave Johnny in charge of the coffee and tea....I know he won't drink all the profits there! :D :D :D

Bungleau's got the unending bowl of m&m's under control and if you keep Ilander's rooster from molting too much, SomeGuy won't need to call in the penguins to sweep too often! See you all when I get back! :D

First?

Well I knew all my hard work would pay off.

Yes ... recover from my night shifts with 5 days off also :D

And get the house looking nice, my brother is flying down to visit us for a fortnight. I'm loking forward to showing him around. It will be his first visit to Australia.

Well, since Cloudy left me in charge of the coffeee and tea....there won't be any tea as of today, and the coffee will contain cognac. Enjoy. :D

I'm off to Playa Del Ingles in a few hours, so I'm not gonna be around for a while.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This weekend i'm off to visit my girlfriend at her parents. Maybe a party on saturday night but I think I'm to tired for any party. :|

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Coldest day of the year so far here, with a high of 6 tomorrow (-15 for you centenarians)... and my son's got an overnight campout! Supposedly it's in heated cabins, but we'll see just what it is, and just how warm it is, later.

He's going to skip snow tubing before the campout... my wife really doesn't want to go... because I won't be there!

Tonight's also the daddy-daughter dance, and I get to take her out for a special evening. We'll have dinner, go to a school dance (where they'll play too much modern new stuff for me [img]smile.gif[/img] ), and have a good time. She really likes it... and that's what's important [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Then it's resting up for Super Bowl Sunday... and getting ready to go to Madison, WI next week. Happily, they've given up all chance of being warm. The high temperatures may get into the positive numbers... or over -18 for you others...

One coffee please! I could really use it, need something to slay this hangover
