the original thread used to be here
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
edit:Ah, I haven't got that in a while Well Cloudy, how are you today? Certainly in the joke "cracking" mode with reference to Blunderbuss' thread [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Jees it is windy today. The washing is getting a good blow anyways, that's for sure. Electric fence also seems to be blowing (which isn't really good because it means I'l have to go out and sort it, but ahwell) [ 01-05-2005, 09:02 AM: Message edited by: RoSs_bg2_rox ]

Second post!
Snowy here again... a far cry from the warm temperatures of last week. Such is the whim of mother nature...

LOL, Hi Ross! Well, I had to look up that smiley so when I saw what it was called, it made me laugh. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Hi Bungleau! Snowing here, too, but lightly for now. We expect a few inches today then a few more overnight and several during the day tomorrow. Oh joy...we may even have a little 'mixed precipitation' tomorrow afternoon, just in time for the rush hour commute. blah!

Onhly rain and in the 60's, here, but it's supposed to get colder and maybe freeze, tonight. Ah, Wiil is at school, and maybe I can nap a bit before office. I wonder where Jen got off to? Snowboarding, probably.

Hello...
Hmmm... I thought I had something to say... But then realised I didn't... *Thinks for a while* Oh yeah... I got my mp3 player, and it's GREAT! I also bought Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth today... and it doesn't work. Not so great... EDIT: Wahey! Elminster! [ 01-05-2005, 09:38 AM: Message edited by: Callum ]
