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. ;)

First Non- Cloudy post yay!
Ugh school in Georgias about to start again...God no! Anyway my mums going to be leaving for a reunion in Wisconson so me, sis, and uncle get to trash the house :D

I'm officially on vacation. Hooray for me! No work for a week! Tuesday night I'm going to see Neil Young in concert.

Nice! Neil Young's sweet. First song I ever memorised: Keep On Rockin' In the Free World. :D Apparently, my mom had been trying for weeks to teach me to sing I'm A Little Teapot, etc. One day out of town, she comes back, look what my dad teaches me. One of the youngest rock and rollers in history. :D

On a separate note, I have learned how to drive a standard. :D I apologise to any of you who may have been driving in Calgary recently: that car going down the highways at 40 kphs, was me. I am actually really excited, cuz my car is a standard, and my parents got me a sweet stereo system for it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nope, only a fan on the ceiling which is running full speed continuously. But that's not really a relief either.

Oh jeez, that'd suck. Stock up on water (and in your case, beer :D ). Just be glad that you aren't a farmer. Totally messes them up.

What's worse, in less than two hours, i'll be running up and down a ladder again. At times like this i wish i had a boring desk job, in an office with airco. :D

WOOHOO, got a few days off, due to the heat. Now what to do..... oh wait.... *runs off to the liqorstore* :D

Well why don't you just save the money and buy yoursefl one of those mini ac? You know those that look like a box. No more heat trouble. AC is a must have, both in summer and in winter. ;) The only problem in my house is that my office is the only room lacking a vent to the ac. :(
