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.

Happy Valentine's Week to the Cafe Crowd!

Heart shaped cupcakes for those who like Valentine's day and for those who don't, some expresso and heart shaped cookies with lines through them. teehee

Bungleau · 02-10-2009, 10:05 PM

Woot! Happy valentine's day to all, and a merry first non-Cloudy post to me!

Cloudbringer · 02-10-2009, 10:10 PM

Hehe.. Merry first non-me post to you then, Bungleau! Hey, wanted to thank you for the idea - you mentioned the budget stuff by Dave Ramsey and hubby and I are reading up on it... we wanted to thank you for the heads up- we think it's a great idea!

Dragonshadow · 02-10-2009, 10:35 PM

Evening everyone, just finished my laundry at half three in the morning. Heh. How is everyone?

Bungleau · 02-10-2009, 10:52 PM

Laundry at half-three... ah, the life of a uni student...

Some things, I just don't miss...

Glad you're finding Dave Ramsey's stuff useful, Cloudy! It's based on a lot of common sense, and while there are some details I disagree with, I agree on the majority. Plain and simple... it works. Get mad... get out of debt... get

My wife got some great news yesterday. She was asked for an interview with her current company for a new position. They told her yesterday she got it! It's about $4k more per year.
She is now a National Account Administrator!

Bungleau · 02-11-2009, 12:34 PM

Excellent news, Variol! Congrats to the beloved!

Congrat Variol, nice to see that not all parts of the economy are in the tank

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 02-11-2009, 12:54 PM

Well, the position did need to be filled and they did say they could not look at any increases for the first year. We're pretty sure that's due to the economy.

I'm guessing that I will make less this year, so this will offset that: I may be wrong about my income though..
