Default Cloudy's Cafe, a conversation zone-May 3, 2009

Previous Cafe is http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/...=100617&page=8

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.

HELLO IRONWORKS! Just taking a minute to get the Cafe set up for a new week. Hope you're all having a good Spring/Autumn (depending on which half of our planet you're hanging from) and are staying happy and healthy so far.

*puts bowls of chocolate chip cookies and tangerines out on the counter, starts up the next batch of muffins and other goodies and wonders if anyone is going to sweep up the front or she has to go find a magic broom, ala Mickey Mouse in the Sorceror's Apprentice*

First!!!

sorry, had to.

Anywho, fun day today. Sunburned my cheeks. Saw a car that plowed through a guard rail on the Sawgrass expressway at over 100mph. The posts were sheered off at the base. What was an SUV had become a compact convertable in two pieces. Sadly as you might guess, the driver didn't make it.


Add: forgot the fun part, had some ribs for dinner. Used a dry rub and cooked them for about 3-4 hours at 280F. good stuff.

Mmmmm.... ribs.... My wife cooks 'em wet, mixture of baking and grilling. Tender... delicious... slobber... drool...

Had a good weekend, aside from my lawnmower giving up the ghost. A piece underneath bent and stuck out... right in the middle of cutting the grass! So on Saturday, I made a contribution to economic recovery...

Much nicer machine... has electric start so certain people (me included ) don't always have to yank the cord to get it going.

*offers to sweep front*

Ahhh, May. The month with the most birthdays.
Australia is currently very cold (for me at least) with the max temperature today a cool 18.1 degrees. Froze my socks off.

Hope everybody is doing ok.

Hey all. Nice to see you all again.

This week is going to suck. I have to get a half 9 or 10 pm train home, walk through a couple of alleys to get back to halls (or else face hoards of drunks at clubs - fortunatly I know the quiet alleys that go round the back of the pubs and past the taxis), and then have a two-day field trip on Wednesday and Thursday, which could make me miss my D&D game for the second week in a row. I also can't do my washing until Thursday night. At about 1am when it is quiet.

Yeah... I don't sleep much. Went to bed at 5am this morning.

And also hand in all of my sedimentology practicals for the semester.

And an update - I have some teatree oil to use on my ear, which should take the swelling down. If it isn't better by this time next week, I'm going to go back to the doctor.
