Cloudy's Cafe, a conversation zone, April 14, 2005

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.

Hello and Happy mid April to you all!

Woot!
Edit: Alright, so anyways, I just had two tests, this morning, and spent the last todays studying for them, nonstop. I'm really I did well. Anyways, I went to English today, and not a single soul was there, so I'm guessing we dont have class today. Otherwise, I'm skipping it anyways. I dunno if I mentioned this, earlier, but I went to a Chevelle concert last week, and plan on going to another concert, this weekend. Should be fun, especially after all the stress of studying 11 hours a day, and then major tests. Well, I'm going to stare blankly at the screen, now, as my brain continues to simmer in its own juices. [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Here here, Drew! Thank God almighty this week is almost over. I had to read a book for Euro history, do a 7 page English paper, and then I had a Calculus test Monday and a Chem test tonight. I feel ya on all of that!

Me and J00dizzle are going home with Tony and Nick this weekend...gonna see the wonder that is Pikeville, KY, and see this county-fair type thing they call "Hillbilly Days." Personally, I want them to take Julean out to do some target shooting, as I always think it's funny when you give a gun to a person from the 'burbs.

This week's over for me! My hubby and I are car shopping tomorrow.

Just cleared up some things on my desk, made a few notes for next week and am eagerly anticipating my time to get out of here!

Good luck Sis re choosing a car! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm Dungeon Sieging it again tonight, ha! Fighting all sorts of Mega Monsters, like birds... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

The Nature Mage tries to identify the odd bird species up close, intrigued by it's weirdness....


Things turned Ugly quickly though, the second he stared into it's dead eyes. The fighters stood for a minute in bewilderment at the entire strange scenario before them...

Heh, my sister had a joyride with one of my computers. I don't know what website she browse through. But when I run my avg it turn out that the computer was infected with like 6 trojan virus. Thank goodness for the new version of avg for it has succeeded in deleting those.

Next I run adaware, to my horror it picked up nearly 100 'uninvinted guest'. The adaware crashed when it tries to delete them. So I have to manually delete them.

Spybot detected yet another 30 or so 'uninvited guest' luckily this time it succeeded in deleting them.

After that, I gave my sister a long lecture. because of all these problem. Now I'm late for work. shesh!

Dron_Cah and Ilander ugh! I'm so glad the days multiple exams all close together are over for me. I can now drink beer safe in the knowledge that I’m only killing unwanted brain cells [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Kakero you need more than a word with your sister you need to put a password on your PC to stop her from using it again.

...wow...I haven't had a headache like this since finals.

I did well on the test, though. Multiple Choice Chem test, got a 22 of 25...and there MIGHT be a curve, though I doubt it. Either way, I did better than most of the people in the room...yay Stoichiometry!
