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.

Am I First!?

Indeed, I am! Ah, life is beautiful! My first ever, "first post in Cloudy's!!" I'm so proud! First, I'd like to thank God. Also, my mom, my dad, and my sister for supporting me through the years. I'd like to than Cloudy, for opening this fine establishment. (Especially while I was online and refreshing the page!!) Also, I'd like to thank all the little people who were too slow to post before me! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyways, I was gonna go to bed, but looks like I'm gonna be helping people with chemistry, instead. Wish they hadn't come in while I was typing in my boxers.... Anyways, have a good one! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Argh! I didn't even notice the new cafe! Well I'll just quote myself here...

Originally posted by Lady Blue03: Well speech was fun. Not. The best part about it was our 15 minute break in which I got in my car and went 2 blocks down to Starbucks, ordered a drink, and got back to school in 10 minutes [img]tongue.gif[/img] Now that all of my philosophy homework is done, I can stay up till the wee hours and do my English essay...2am is bed time tonight. Then I can get up at 10am and have an hour and a half to wash my car and get ready before I have to leave [img]smile.gif[/img]

And now two hours later I'm done with my 1,010 word essay -_- That gives me like 3 hours to play wc3, sweet

LOL at all the posts above. After a hard days work coming into the cafe for a cold beer and reading your posts helps me unwind and relax. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

erm nothing intresting happening here like eating or going to bed ...... just me with an urge to type

[Cloudbringer]

What's for dinner...or breakfast, Wellard?! I get so bored thinking up what to do for dinner every day, sometimes it's easier to take 'pot luck' but right now my fridge is pretty empty except for a few leftovers that I can't recall making... LOL So I'm guessing they've been there a while!

Hubby is working evenings for a while so I'm eating alone or with my friend and we aren't making big meals. Tonight is a quiche with turkey sausage, cheddar cheese and mushrooms.
