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.

Hello everyone! Cookies and hot chocolate on the counter, help yourselves! We've got chocolate chip, butterscotch oatmeal and sugar cookies. (Think I'll be making those at home, for company actually. We've got the makings, I just need to get the energy to bake!)

*edit* Okay, my life is now complete. First non-Cloudy post in a cafe...

Evening, all... preparing for vacation next week, which involves driving from the north of the US all the way to the south. With both kids. While remaining sane... I hope [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey, guys. I'm really, SUPER tired. Just got off second shift, and I worked a two person line, by myself for the majority of the night. Good luck on your trip, Bungleau, and I'm glad your life is complete! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Roughly a thousand-mile trip over two days... and the same back again in a week. We loaded our ammunition tonight... new games, crafts, toys, and so on that we can spring on them through the trip.

Plus the plug-in TV/VCR so they can watch stuff. Hours upon hours of videos...

Hey all, just got back from seeing Spiderman 2, awesome film and kudos to Alfred Molina for doing a great job playing Doc Oc.

Well, I'm tired so I think I'll head off to bed, night everyone.

Hiya guys.
I'm having a few problems, school work, school computers being updated, and my internet connection won't come up at home, so I can't connect.
