the original thread is here


the previous thread is here:

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.

Yay!! First post!!

Sorry, if you noticed a delay in any actual content in my post, but I had to secure position

Anyways I had a decent day aside from the headache. I get to make a trip up to the Orlando area to pick up my bro tomorrow. 4+ hours on the road, but I'm still not driving . With only 10 minutes experience under my belt I wouldn't trust my self with holiday traffic on I-95.

Tarnation! This is the closest I've come to a first post...

Ah, well... I guess I'll have to lurk in even more strange hours...

Evening, all.

Bleh... Man I'm freakin tired, and I feel like crap. I don't even really know the reason. It's not a sick feeling, or a really tired tired tired feeling, it feel more like, well y'know how you feel when you're left out or all alone and there's no one there to talk to or someone to kinda cheer you up? It's pretty much how I feel. Anyway, how's everyone today?

Bummer, that pic of the girl I was talking about. I can't really put it on the net as far as I know. Its one of those professional photography companies that does school pics, and on the back of the print it said something about copyright permission. I can't make it out cuz it's only slightly darker than the rest of the back. Well, maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

Someguy, I think I know how you feel. It sounds kinda like the way I felt when said girl decided we shouldn't pursue a relationship. I wasn't exactly happy. I was very controlled, but definately not in the best of moods.

P.S. I just noticed this, but her eyes (in the picture) seem to follow you when you move from side to side. wierdness.

I got my vacation leave approved! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

Well... for now, at least... my boss says she's fine with me going off as long as the periods do not coincide with any tight deadlines set by the policy makers.

I can't wait for next Tuesday to come! I am close to reaching burnout...
