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

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:

<H2>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H2>

[i]* 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.[i]

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>

Cloudy,
your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Just a little bit from last post in the old one, to get started:

"Uss, how about we start a new Cafe today and you try chatting about something you might be interested in that others can relate to? Do you have any hobbies like running, stamp collecting, writing poetry, or something? Do you have pets? How about brothers and sisters? What subjects are you taking in school? Do you like any of them? Stuff like that would help."

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to everyone! I'm off for a little while but thought I'd stop in and put on some more coffee. :D

Morning everybody!

I have to go watch Episode II now! See you all later! :D

we've met his brother already, don't you remember ?

Hi Nick! Long time no see! That sig of yours is so funny! LOL A 'cute' devil smiley.... just too funny! :D

Well, I hate to start new and then run, but I have to go for a few hours. I'll check back later, though! Have fun, everyone!

Ha! Defeated the evil chatroom. :D Pity there's only me and Downunda in there though. ;)

Hi Cloudy! *shhh!* You'll give away my secret plans. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
