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.

From the other thread-

Captain Obvious- Don't you hate it when they test a product out on your area and then decide it's not gonna sell enough everywhere else and stop making it? I usually like the stuff they discontinue, too! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LadyZ, I love diet Coke with lime, not too sweet or too sharp for me, just right... but I like diet sodas for the most part.

LadyBlue! LOL, off the WoW for a bit and starting over in a new place...whoo, you've been busy, girl! WELCOME BACK! Put up some new pics of yourself and your new home at Stealthy's later!

Can it be true? First

Anyways back to work for 5 more. Managed to get the house all ready up to the roof part. Man so much work and never enough hours in a day.

Anyone have plans for the weekend?


Here is a pic of the front of the house. It is all sheeted in the front now.

[Cloudbringer]

Wow, that's alot of work, Mack! Wanna add onto my house while you're at it?! Seriously, it looks good so far!

[Mack_Attack]

Thanks all. It is a ton of work. But at least you know that it is getting done right.

One last pic of the back.

Looks good from the back too! Going to be nice and roomy!

Well, as a few (very few) members know, Christi (RevRuby) and I are beginning divorce proceedings. The reasons on both sides are long, detailed, and messy (as well as having been legally advised not to discuss it), the big winners... nobody. The losers... Erilyn, Carol, and Brenna. I may or may not be moving back to Idaho where my family is after things settle down, once we know what will be happening with the girls, and once things are better established legally.

[Bungleau]

Bummer, Morg. You both have my sympathies in the process... it's neither easy nor fun. Just remember to keep the kids out of the firing lines, even after the divorce is done.
