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.

Good morning everyone! Or evening or afternoon...whatever it is in your part of the world!

It's Friday for me and that's a great way to start my day...knowing I've got a long awaited weekend coming up.

Got to make plans to visit the parents and their yippee-yappy dog (they have a chihuahua). Nice thing is that summer, which eluded us all Summer....is here now for Fall, go figure! Gonna be 90 F today.

Afternoon.
Ack, yappy dogs... I have to try and resist the urge to step on them.

If you kick them hard enough, you get to experience a nice doppler effect as they go away yelping...

Morning, all! A fresh new cafe... hopefully the roof's in better shape after what happened to the last one

[Cloudbringer]

My folks love theirs so I refrain from rude comments about her... LOL She's getting better since Dad started obedience training with her but she's still a yappy barker and she's afraid of my husband who is big and tall... too funny, really. All he has to do is look at her and 'yipyipyip yap..bowowowowow!" I mean literally- he LOOKS at her... he tries not to move much, or quickly, is calm and careful around her and talks in a quiet voice...doesn't matter, she barks. Really quite amusing when you know that hubby is a dog lover and was really trying to be friends with her. Our friend who visited my folks with us just sat in a chair and the dog loved her.... go figure!

Quit resisting that urge; once flattened they cook more evenly and can fit nicely into a couple of slices of freshly buttered bread, washed down with a nice, strong cup of tea



*throws self down in big, comfy chair near window and settles down to enjoy a nice puppy-burger™*

[Dragonshadow]

Wow... That is one tasty looking burger...

[Unglaublich Verwustung]

I can order another for you if you want, just pull up a chair, should only take a few minutes

[Dragonshadow]

*sits down* Thanks. Mmm, I look forward to this.

You were looking peckish, so I got you this one instead:

It comes with a foot as a side-order
