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. ;)

morning everyone, I have to take dew to the doctor today, her ear is bleeding, and I am worried about her :(

her ear is bleeding...i'm guessing by the time you read this you'd be back from the doc's so is she alright,..another of my friend also said her ear bled...allergies maybe?

hoopefully she's alright [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow, ive always heard that bleeding from the ears is never good, how is she, I hope its nothing serious.
Anyway, how is everyone, buisness going well Cloudy?

Good morning, all. A fine morning and a fine walk I had. The sun is shinkng and the birds are singing. :D

Ear bleeding means bad things, like brain damage, i would ahve that checked out pretty quickly.

Yay 600 posts!

Yeah, rings are pretty low on mine, too. But you have to have a watch, to count pulses, etc. I keep a ring-cutter in my office to cut them off people who have finger and hand trauma and swell, endangering the digits.

Good day everyone, Stormy I hope you daughter is okey...

Phew this is a hot day, apparantly the thunderstorm 2 days ago (see my old sinking thread... [img]smile.gif[/img] ) was the beginning of a heatwave and what a heat wave, the old heat record from 1990 was beaten today, it's 27°c in the shadows and lovely weather, I went downtown and I'm sitting in a internet cafe, they have a working airconditioning so it's the best place to be really...

her daddy just took her, the appointment is at 10, as soon as he calls me I will let you guys know, I stayed here due to Caleb still having problems with his asthma, which is not to bad, it is just dusty here because a storm is brewing. I think her tube is coming out, she has been having bad ear infections, and if that is what it is, they might want to put another one in her ear :( I hate this for her, she is probably going to wind up like me and face alot of surgeries.
