<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>

LOL Horatio.

Mmm a new cafe. Cloudy, did you know that Ziroc is considering making Cloudy´s a sticky post? ;) Naah, probably not. :D

g'day mates

Despite pouring with rain all night, the day has opened up to be warm, sunny and not a cloud to be seen so looks like I'll have a sunny weekend after all [img]smile.gif[/img]

Got stocktake on thursday when I go back to work so gonna get outside and enjoy my bike as much as poss.

LOL, Willow, it's practically 'sticky' all on it's own! ;)

No clouds, Downunda? Geez, I'll have to come down there and fix that! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

StormCloud

Um... I'll say hello for the 2nd time today. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Cloudy, did you answer my poll? I appreciate you keeping it open. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I am only on one other forum where there is a cafe, and it is always near the top, too. <font color=lavender>Galadria</font> was complaining that there isn't one on her aerobics forum, so nobody really knew anybody else. I told her to start her own, call it, "Blondemom's Brasserie." :D

Send some of that sun up this way, can you? We've had nearly 100" of snow since December 1st, and it's a big old 6 degrees (below zero with the windchill) here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I'd be SOOOOOOO happy with some nice 60, 70 or 80 degree weather.

Hi everyone.How y'all feeling?
