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. ;)

Numero Uno. :D

Numero dos. Behind johnny. AS USUALL!!!

EAT MY DUST ! :D

Umm... that just puts a bad image in my head. Very disturbing.


Well then, that was out of character for me. See what happens when I don't get to see my friend Sam? I just gotta hold on til Monday night. Let's see, my other friend is working on the youth group website for me and my youth pastor. Trust me, it's better that way. Much as a learning experience as it might be, I'd rather not use something I want to be proud of as my starting position. Then again I did make some really nice ceramic/clay pieces on my first tries.

Anyways it was a pretty good week, except that I didn't work out at all. :( Oh well, there's always this week.

Hey all! Tommorrow, I go to see if I'm the smartest high schooler in the state of Kentucky! Wish me luck!

(I'm participating in a competition in which I take a fifty question multiple choice science test, with one written question at the end to break ties...I have placed first in district science, then first in regionals...I hope I do all right tommorrow, because I'm a senior now...no more competitions like this again for me!)

Good luck to you tomorrow, Ilander! May you prevail over all challengers....

Urgh! Just finished doing my taxes this year... I've known the results for over a month, but got lazy. I owe the state big time again... and discovered it's because someone at my company fat-fingered the W-2 form. Put me down for 14 exemptions instead of 4... :( It's a logical mistake to make, having had the form faxed over to me, and it's been corrected. Now, to throw myself on the mercy of the state and hope to avoid penalties... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Where's that begging/pleading smiley? Hmmm...

Oh well. Off to bed in a bit, then off to Atlanta for the week. Hasta later, all. Cheers [img]graemlins/drinkup.gif[/img]
