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.

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.

Argh... feeling frazzled at the office... would feel less so if my co-worker wasn't surfing the net, printing stuff from yahoo and sales sites for herself and leaving me to run around.... but in any event, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG! LOL That's my semi-primal scream for the afternoon!

FIRST NONE CLOUDY!

*adds* Sounds like you're having a hectic day, Cloudy. I biked very far, played football, biked far home. My legs ache so much *sob* I just want to chill out.

And we have no lemonade *sobs* or any nice biscuits.

Why are we starting a new thread? the old one only had 63 posts!

Well, today is going to suck. in 17 kinds of ways. i came in early, started work early (7:30, although i am on IW now...) and am going to be stuck here till at least 8.pm. So, ivellis, your lack of lemonade and buscuits doesnt seem too bad!

Plus my wife is having a job interview today, which she has been quite nervous about, even though she is a legend who should breeze in.

[Ivelliis]

I have both lemonade and biscuits now (just ate a full packet of Jammie Dodgers...I should be pretty fat but I'm just not...go me )

Good luck to your wife Captain O, your day sounds less than pleasing I hope you're getting paid a s***load for it *grin*

[Captain Obvious]

Ivellis. yeah, i think she will be ok, it will probably come down to whether she wants to work there or not.

and, as to my pay. Imagine the largest number you can. add zero, and subtract your initial number. that is what i get paid for my overtime.

THeoretically i get glide time, but seeing as i am so busy, i can never take time off, so you get shafted.

ahh well, such is life.

oh, and damn you and your life of buscuits and lemonade! A pox on your refreshing, carbonated beverages!

Just stopping in real quick to say hi. Has been a pretty hectic week - I'm now in Nova Scotia. I move into residence on the 2nd of September, and classes don't start until the 6th. Right now, I'm staying at my cousin's house in Halifax, trying to sort out how to be able to see all the family over the next 2 days. It's hectic, but sort of weird to know I'll be 3000 miles from Calgary for the next 4 months. Of course, I also won't have the parents watching me.
