Cloudy's Cafe, a conversation zone, March 20, 2008

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.

Happy Thursday, everyone! I restocked the muffins and cookies and I think there's corned beef leftover from the St. Patty's day festivities.

Bungleau · 03-20-2008, 09:33 AM

First post!!!

Extra corned beef over here, please... I missed it on St Patty's Day, an' there are some things that are just right...

Had a dentist visit this morning... visit number two for another crown. That's the last of 'em, at least for the foreseeable future. As usual, two shots of anesthetic to start off with, and extra time for it to take effect. Then a bit more as he got started... it truly sucketh to have such a tolerance for the stuff.

I read somewhere a while ago that the average person loses eight teeth in the course of their life (after their baby teeth, that is). I thought that was a lot until I considered it... I've had four wisdom teeth extracted, and have now got at least four crowns, which you could consider to be gone. Hmmm... really wish I hadn't mastered the art of opening pop bottles with my teeth when I was younger...

So, brighten things up a bit, will you? Who's got something going on today that's *BETTER* than going to the dentist?

Firestormalpha · 03-22-2008, 11:52 PM

Hmmm... well, my church currently has a 9000lbs. Indian elephant on it's front lawn. Is that better than a dental visit?

Bungleau · 03-23-2008, 01:11 AM

I guess that depends on whether or not you have to clean up after it...

Firestormalpha · 03-23-2008, 01:34 AM

We're just hosting the animal for the weekend. The group that keeps her has there own personel looking after her. Good thing to, since I can't think of anyone on staff who knows anything about caring for an elephant.

wellard · 03-23-2008, 03:52 AM

You guys have corned beef for st paddy's day?

I like the stuff but I don't see the connection to the Irish

Spirits Reborn · 03-23-2008, 01:00 PM

I think people are past having any relation to irish in st. paddys day.

Most of the people I know just use it as an excuse to get drunk off their butts. Its sad , really.

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 03-25-2008, 07:18 AM

And on a happier note! ...well, for me, it was a special weekend. As a Christian, Easter means a lot to me.
It was busy, but a good kind of busy.

So now, I'll have a cup of tea and relax at the cafe for a bit..

Bungleau · 03-25-2008, 08:41 AM

Found out Sunday that one of my cousins made vegan Corned Beef for St Patty's Day. I'm not *quite* sure how you can do that, but apparently wheat gluten factors into it substantially.... I'm not sure I'd recognize wheat gluten if it bit me on the gluteus maximus...

And a happy (belated) Easter to you, Variol. It is a special day with special remembrances, and to me, the most valuable thing is what it makes me think about... I've gotten to be a lot more pensive and reflective over the past year, and faith is one of the best pensive and reflective areas.

On a different and yet positive note, I've been putting a focused effort into cleaning my office. May not sound like much, I know, but my wife has often pointed out how hypocritical it is for me to insist the kids keep their rooms clean...

I've thrown away a lot, and have narrowed down a lot as well. It's only the first round, and no where near done, but it's already making an impact.

Even found a newspaper from three years ago that I saved for my mom. It's a special section on hearing aids... 'nuff said
