<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

1st non-Cloudy post?
Heh heh....

Hey guys, what've you all been up to? My day has been especially crap. Woke up with a throbbing head-ache radiating from the spot where I was shot with a paintball, there was no milk or bread in the flat so I went without breakfast. Left my wallet at home so I couldn't get anything to eat most of the day. To top it off, I got caught on the double-yellows. Got a fine. [img]smile.gif[/img] Joy [img]smile.gif[/img]

Geez Horatio! You need a vacation or something! I hope you get some bread and milk and a bit of peace and quiet tomorrow!


My day has been ok, but not the one I'd prefer! I had to get up early to take my car to the shop. They called a little while ago and will keep it another day. The ac needed work and so did the oil pump...sigh... the $$$$ is adding up, but I have to fix the car, so I don't have much choice. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well today we have had sunshine, torrential rain, thunder, lightning, sunshine, rain, sunshine, rain, thunder, lightning, sunshine, hail.

I wish it would make up it's bloody mind!

<font color=pink>Oh please. We all know Wind Force is the best bow, but most of us don't have the insane amount of SOJ's or the hex items people want for em, or the willingness to go buy one for D2items.com or whateva [img]tongue.gif[/img] Plus, I found my buriza. How many windforces u see dropping off cows? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, school was most uneventful today, and little bit later I'm goin shorts shopping, food shopping, and getting my friend a b-day present. Since it's almost 2 i better leave [img]tongue.gif[/img] .
Cath ya'll later tonight [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

I wish :rolleyes: no chance of that at the moment. My cash flow is little more than a trickle ;)

Whoa! Epona, you aiming for a record for most weather changes in a day?! LOL It's gorgeous, sunny and warm here today! And me without my car! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Horatio, I hear you on the cash flow issue! My car just ate all my spare cash and some savings.

Erm...Cloudy...I'd get pest control on that right away [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

Good evening everyone!

I had two English tests today and I´m afraid it didn´t go as well as I planned. The "test" tests we did before went much better and I went to the examination with a certain self-confidence, unfortunatly I didn´t leave that way. Well my result will depend on how strict the examinors are when grading the tests but I still think I´ll pass. There are three other parts left and they say it´s the overall grade and impression that counts.
