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. ;)

Sorry gang, I just have time for a quick hello as our office is mucho busy today! So..HELLO! :D

<font color=lime>Well, hello guys! I am back on DSL and hope to be around, so look out... :rolleyes: </font>

Haven't seen you here for a while, LK. [img]smile.gif[/img]

A pleasure to see you for a longer time, LK! Things exciting in Seattle this week? :D

Hey, post a sporadic space photo, LK! I've missed them, and have been tempted to revive it myself, and dedicate it to you in your absence.

Man...I went to class at 8:50 this morning, and finally made it back to my room at 6 PM...and still have to go to another class tonight at 7:30!

Busy busy busy!

Welcome back LK

Not very often I have pics on here. But I had this one in my e-mail today made me think wow.

The angle of the guy on that picture seem wrong...

Ugh..been a long, busy, stressful day and I got home late, had to find something for dinner (our original plan fell through when we realized we were missing vital ingredients yesterday...you can't make lasagna without cheese!) and I'm beat!

The weather was nasty here today- we got nearly 8 inches of snow, beginning a little before rush hour this morning, making for one heck of a nasty commute and then I barely got into my driveway when I got home. Took 4 or 5 tries to get the car into the driveway and not across it or on the lawn...although I did take out a small piece of the lawn, sigh...

Hope everyone else had a good day!
