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.

Hey SomeGuy! Sounds like you have a good relationship with your mom and I'm glad you told her your problems with your friend. I hope it works out ok! Sometimes people do the dumbest things and don't even think about the consequences.

Morning all! It's a beautiful day here! Spring may have snuck in after all!


Attalus, you guessed it, time is slipping away and I'm thinking 'the last minute' may be the only one! LOL

Why is it that when there is a piece of a jigsaw missing it's always the last piece?

Isn't it an irony? you lent your cousin your nwn cd. and when you want it back he said he lost it? arghhh!

Well, that's easy enough now, isn't it ? Now your cousin owes you 50$, or whatever it costs to buy a new one. At least that's how it works in this part of the world.

hey guys, has anyone seen Dawn of the Dead yet?

Oh yeh, and someguy, its probably a good idea to share your problems. Im sure I mentioned this on here before sometime, but one time I had the same kind of problem, and a select few (maybe 3) were pissing me off the whole time and just generally being a bunch of asses. So one day I just had enough, and smacked this guy in Science a few times. He ended up bleading and I ended up in the timeout room (bbbbbbad) Anyways after that everything was sorted, although it would have been so much easier to have done before. And now I am quite good friends with the guy I smacked that long time ago. Hope it works out
