the previous thread is here: Cloudy's CafeCome 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 NOTEThis 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.

First post!!
Cloudy, you really ought to stop spamming. I think two thirds of your total post count consists of the same posts over and over. |

HAHAHA..then where would YOU come to be cranky, dear Link? How's your day going so far? It's just the beginning of mine over here.
I'm at work and after that I'm off to make dinner then go to a bible study with a friend. Then when I get home, my hubby will be home from work and we'll have some cuddle time, hehe! Oh and HAPPY WEDNESDAY everyone!

I'm not cranky, far from it. It's almost 4 pm here, and I've got virtually nothing left to do today as all important things are already behind me.
It was just that I noticed you've gone from two cafe-startup posts to three. Subtle, but spammy. Very spammy

Er.. no
But I don't need to. I'm living on my own, no parents nearby to tell me anything. Actually that's not true either, as my mum came by to visit me today. Of course, she immediately accused me of losing my own shoes (because I was wearing my cousin's shoes) and not studying hard enough ("spending too much time behind that screen!"). I couldn't but agree with her more

Morning, all. Link, quit arguing with Cloudy... you'll never win [img]smile.gif[/img]
It's cold and rainy out here... and some of that rain looked distinctly solid, I hate to say... Felt like having bagels for breakfast this morning, but we didn't have any. After everyone headed out, I ran to Panera's for a dozen, including one right now with a fresh cup of hot chocolate. Mmmm... sitting by the fireplace in there, eating that choc-o-nut bagel... life was good... On to more development work today, and hopefully finishing the latest release of software before the end of the month. Too bad everything I do raises more questions about what else I need to do... *sets back on the couch by the fire with another bagel* Hey, I brought extras, in case anyone wants some.

chocolate....mmm....*tries not to drool on counter* I had to break into the hershey's kisses last night... but I've been doing so well I guess a few chocolate kisses didn't hurt too much. Lost a size and half in clothing so far and hubby's done equally well so we're still working at it and doing well.
But now I want chocolate bagels.... ack!
