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.

Howdy harley! How's that adorable kitty doing? She eating her prescription food ok? Merlin got a bit of ham from our lunches this morning. He usually takes a piece then goes off to eat his cat food! LOL, like priming the pump or something!

She's eating the food ok, but the pills are another story. I'm accumulating a collection of scratches from my baby [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] This morning was a true struggle, took 3 tries (normally I get it down the first try), and by the time it got in her mouth not only was all the butter off, but she had managed to drool all the yellow film off the pill and was drooling all over me, YUCK!!!

[img]smile.gif[/img] how is things with you dear??? i work for budget rentacar dear, and i like it alot.. [img]smile.gif[/img] i hope things are going well with you and your job hunting [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Cloudbringer]

Yup! Sounds familiar! That's when I got the gelatin capsules to put the pills in! They went down easier and didn't stick to the cat's tongue or mouth or cause the frothing that the straight pills did! I swear by them if I have to pill a cat for more than a week! Hopefully your little one will get well without making you a pincushion!

Going no where. I've even sent my resume to places posting on Monster immediatly after their job posting appears, and have heard zilch. I have 4 head hunters with my resume and I keep checking Career Builder and Monster and send resumes to jobs that look promising and that I meet the requirements, but have not gotten a single call or email. Soon, I hope, soon *crosses fingers*

Thanks for asking, Night Stalker.

[Cloudbringer]

hehe....sure, NS, I believe you....

Harley have you tried local helpwanted listings online? My fiance put his resume on the capital area one and they called him for the job he's got now.
