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 and HAPPY MONDAY to you all! Or Tuesday if that's your current day!

[Bungleau]

Woohoo! First non-Cloudy, non-soccer, non-football, non-hockey, non-significant other, non-school, non-work post!

Ermm.... what's left?

Morning, Cloudy (even though it's afternoon here and there). All quiet here so far... a bunch of kids have infested our house, and they should be gone by late afternoon.

Hi everyone, long time no see, I havn't been here for about a week and a half and then Z was very worried about Choc... I didn't see any update and was wondering how our mascot is doing...

[Cloudbringer]

ROTFL, there's always the weather, Bungleau!

We had a humdinger of a storm pass through here and lost our power for about an hour or so. Still hearing small rumbles of thunder in the distance and only just started seeing either of my cats. Merlin's sure that something bad is about to eat the cats so he either hides under the bed or clings to my feet...he's in the latter stage now, since the storm is pretty far away and the power is back on.

I have a ridiculous yearning for a nice hot dog. Got any lying around the Cafe, Cloudy? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

We just had a thunderstorm the other day. My dog, who is deathly afraid of lightning, somehow got out of our back yard. They found her at the canoe club, which is probably a good mile and a half away. She cut up her paws pretty good, I guess from sprinting all the way from our house to there. Now she's walking around pretty gingerly.

Still have to figure out what I'm going to do this weekend - having a birthday on a Tuesday really sucks. Last year it was on the only possible worse day (Monday), and before that, I wasn't legal. *grumble grumble grumble*

[Bungleau]

*gives up, sends a beer his way, and steps back into the shadows...*
