<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 HOWEVER, I'm not gonna jump on anyone for a few of these kinds of things, only if it gets out of hand. :D

<font color=ff6600> Hey Cloudster, good mornin! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Hey Cloudy, LK [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was just wondering, is it a holiday today in the USA? (It was today for Australia- Easter Monday)

Hey Cloudy, and good morning all. I'm here at home staying away from the evil that is my school, even my good leg gave out when I was using the crutches [img]tongue.gif[/img] but I'll live. *sets his bad leg up on his table and pets his dog*

Easter was yesterday in the USA Goku, but Happy Easter for today [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Australia had Easter yesterday as well. We have a holiday on the next day as well :D I was just wondering if the USA also had this extra holiday.

<font color="#ffccff">Morning all, hope you all had a hoppy Easter. It was a gorgeous weekend here with beautiful weather and a beautiful woman to share them with.....even made up for the fact that I had to spend the weekend trying to get yard work done ;) </font>

Good morning all [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]
Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL here!! 80 (f) degrees!! It's going to snow Wednesday, but, WOW, what a great weekend.
My sweety got back from Malaysia yesterday, so I was all happy :D Plus I got presents!! (presents when it's not your birthday are always good, lol)

How's everyone doing this morning (even if it is a Monday)?

<font color=ff6600> Well, its time for me to call it a night...or is that day. Well, its night for me. ;) Gooddaynight all. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] </font>

Good morning all! Err.. good...uh.. sleeping, Lord K! :D

I had a pretty good weekend, but was feeling lightheaded, thanks to allergies, and ended up missing my Easter church services... :(

Feeling better today, though. I wanted to do some yard work but ended up running a zillion errands on Saturday and doing laundry. Still have errands, laundry AND yard work to do too....boy that's just not fair! LOL
