the previous thread is here:

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.

Well, the role of the "other sex" is to keep me happy, bring me beer and stuff. I'm not very demanding.

I think the gender roles depend on the relationship, some people treat their partner differently and expect different things.

Gender roles, only really one way it goes around here. Guy takes care and looks after the girl, and she doesn't dump him. Simple really [img]tongue.gif[/img]

English exam, eh, Xen? How do you think you did on it?

Oh, and Johnny, women also love to be called "wench" when making you happy or bringing you beer and stuff ...lol

I'd say that your description fits a lot of the stuff I see, Gangrell, though I have to go a bit more in depth for my 9 page paper.

Anybody out there have a paper due next week also?

Well I have a very good felling about it. I always have. But there's a problem, you see. I'm cursed. Every and I mean every exam from English I take or have taken I always get a C. Always. If I study or if I don't. I hope I'll get better this time.

I do! Mine will only somewhat touch on the Freudian ideology, and even less on the Oedipal conflicts, thank God. And as far as the modern relationship, we as community prefer to think of it ideally, as a totally equal partnership, with mutual respect and responsibilty. HA!! Anyways, I'm definitely not qualified to discuss this, so I'll leave it be, lol. Just ate lunch, and ran a couple of errands. Now, to waste time!
