<H2><font color="plum">Cloudy's Cafe</font></H2>

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. ;) :D

First non-Cloudy post? EDIT: Woohoo! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] *Adds trophy to mantle*

Oh Surrrrre!!! I post in the other cafe, and you go and create a new one!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ahh, we can´t spam? Well that pretty much makes my whole existance obsolete. :(

Noo...

Anyone got any big woes to share today?

Just moving my reply from the other thread!

The kitty I had on that food did very well and he eventually got off it, but sometimes they just keep eating that for life and the only problems I've heard about are the cost! :D Shu (my long haired kitty who passed on about 5 yrs ago) LOVED that dry CD food but hated the canned stuff. Thing is, that dry stuff packs the pounds on the puddy cat, so watch her weight! :D

Wellard! Cat food? Of course! My dear Merlie thinks chicken, steak and cheese are cat food! LOL So I guess so! ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL, no big woes but it's still raining here! How about out your way?

Clear as a bell, here, and none of your creations left over from this morning, either. What? You are going to send them back? Good, we need about 5" more to avoid a hot summer, they tell me.

Hey guys [img]smile.gif[/img] for some reason I am just plain happy today, my husband is working again, My kids are half way behaving, and I am not having any pain :D cept the dag,lol explain to me why a dog is so stupid when it comes to cats? he wont leave the cat alone and now his face looks like something out of pet cemetery:D
dumb dog......

Hmm, I'm going to have rain all weekend, so it would be only fair to send it to you, Attalus! :D

Now if only the remodeling guys on the first floor would stop making so much noise that we could actually hear our phone conversations....sigh
