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. ;)

Hi SomeGuy! I was just tidying up a bit and stopped by to say hello before I got to bed.

We went to breakfast at church this morning (a fund raiser for the new steeple we are putting up) and met with our priest to discuss our wedding. It was a really beautiful, sunny day til about 2 in the afternoon and then it started pouring rain.

I feel so different now. Today, me and my college friend Matt had a talk, a long one. I needed it. He's going to be like an accountibility partner, I'm trying to get myself closer to God now. I really want to change.

Good luck then, SG! [img]smile.gif[/img] I admire your sense of purpose! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm going to bed now, will catch you later!

<font color=pink>Hi all [img]smile.gif[/img] Had a great fun day today. Went to a party with Em's fam all day today. Was great, swimming, tanning, eating ribs, and the best part, shooting guns :D Was my first time shooting one, but it turns out I'm a natural with the auto Magnum 45. Also got to shoot a 44, Em's new little 36, her moms...don't remember what it was, but it was like a James Bond stylish one, very sexy :D . Tried out a rifle too, but I'm better with pistols. We were in our bikinis, so the guys called us 'team bikini' lol. We got some pics of us shooting that Em said shed get developed tomorrow, so maybe I'll have some up on stealthy's [img]smile.gif[/img] .

And the day ended perfectly when I got home right as my dad was pulling the filet mignon off the barbie :D

Anyway, have a good sleep ya'll, will be busy for most of the day tomorrow, but I'll stop by when I wake up. Gnight! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] </font>
