Cloudy's Cafe

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:

this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone

* 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!

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.

First post.

Edit: Oh, what a lousy day it's already started out to be. My bird has been screaming non stop and the nousy arse woke me up three times. Still have to go see my doctor today and go to my tech school, what a fun day.

Good morning Gangrell! Sounds like a hectic day for you. I hope things calm down sometime soon! Is the bird bothered by weather changes or something? Or just happy and letting you know?! [img]smile.gif[/img]

PLEASE NOTE

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.

If the bird is happy Cloudy, it's painful knowing his joy [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ah the sweet smell of spam and cloudy's starbucks coffee in the *checks watch* afternoon. I will forever condemn this thread as spam, you spammy good-fer-nothings

Gangrell - if your bird's been screaming, then just gag her, slap her on the ass and tell her to go and do the dishes or something

Well, as Vaskez seems to have been the punctu-ma-nazi lately... that's "if your bird's been screaming"

Yay! Holidays! Still!

Gonna be up all night though, I fell asleep for 5 hours this afternoon... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ah this is gonna be a good day. Dad woke me up this morning as I requested, and now I'm currently waiting on Connor to ring me up so we can go get biscuits and gravy at the local Daylight Donuts. Now, I know you're saying "It's a donut shop, why are you getting biscuits and gravy instead of donuts?" Well, it's because... biscuits and gravy kick ass. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Rico would be joining us, but he's helping the needy today! Go Rico! I'd help, but he said it was okay and he'd find us later. We do this every Saturday, but since we couldn't do it this Saturday, we moved it to Monday. Hooray for Christmas Break.

Over here in England, It has snowed for the fist time this month, unfortunately not enough for it to be used as an excuse to go home from school early. Oh well, only one more day to go, and that's school over for 2004. (Yes that's right; I finish school on a Tuesday).
