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>

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. ;)

Just sent my honey off to bed, full of cold rememdies... poor guy can hardly talk tonight, his throat is so sore. :(

Hope everyone here is doing well today. We've got cold and flu season beginning up my way and they predict possible sleet and freezing rain this week...ugh. I've got to do some house cleaning so maybe I'll plan it for the cold and frosty days!

Wow, New cafe and we didn't even reach 100 posts at the old one. Mostly boring day today. My computer was getting glitchy on me so I ran the disk fixer and it turned out a dirt load of bad file clusters. Probably from all the times that I had to force a restart when it locked up.

HI Firestormalpha! Every time my Norton Systemworks runs the one button checkup it finds 3 or 4 mistakes in the registry to fix. Hope you got all your glitches fixed up!

So... tired... need... sleep... or caffiene, which ever comes first. *goes to sleep on one of the tables* *uses the pinks napkins as pillows* Ahhh.. much better... *snores*

anyway, how is everyone on the fine forum of IW? [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, wake up, Someguy! You're falling asleep in the donuts! :D I'm doing ok, gotta get to bed for work in the morning and just sent my sweetie to bed, he's got a bad cold. My cats are snoozing and will want treats when I go off to snooze. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, I'm finally leaving work just now. Looks like going to the gym will only be counterproductive at this hour. COme to think of it, I could use a drink or four. Tomorrow, guys.

<font color=pink>Lol, timber :D

Well I have school tomorrow :( But my dad is letting me fly to Las Vegas with him next monday :D what can an 18yr old get up to there?? Well, not much i guess [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol</font>

Yep, Lady Blue, not much. However, some casinos really cater to families. Go ride the roller coaster on top of that one casino -- I've always wanted to do that.

BTW, I did get in a 2 mile run and some weights -- but only for 30 mins. Oh well, I am rejuvinated now. Which is good -- I have a chart to do to complete my project at work -- I project and hour or 2 -- best get going!

Night, all.
