The official CMF coffee lounge -- make friends here!

[the-royal-mail]

Toronto.Gal suggested we should have a loosey-goosey coffee lounge where we could come and safely discuss all manner of nonsense, post a gripe, make some friends, kick up your feet and just chat with your fellow CMFer on a casual, friendly basis. If you're having a rough time at work or at home, are afraid of actually being banned in the "ban the user" thread or just want to hang out, this is your thread.

We can discuss pretty much anything as long as we keep things friendly among us. This isn't the place to fight with your fellow CMFer. It is intended as a friendly, fun place.

All are welcome, no matter when you signed up.

Thanks for starting it TRM.

Non-alcoholic beverages only.

LOL. It was a great idea. Though I think there are many calories in that coffee you pictured. I actually take my coffee black (the few times I drink it) as it has almost 0 calories. McDonald's coffee is the best.

Sounds like a great idea, but I thought that the entire "General Discussion" area was meant for just these sorts of conversations: anything goes. I wonder if the General Discussion area could just be renamed "Coffee Lounge" or "The Pub"?

Careful brad. TO might ban you -- you said pub but she she said "non-alcoholic beverages only."

Ah, I forgot about that! Coffee Lounge or Tea Room, then.

Now, you ought to know that in the grand hierarchy of Internet Sins, creating a "General Discussion" thread within a "General Discussion" area is actually several orders of magnitude worse than...quoting.

Alright Brad, maybe after market hours you can order a drink.

This is an open discussion thread, meaning that you can write about any topic without having to create a thread......like dropping in for a chat so to speak.

TRM, would you like to be the moderator of this thread?

Echo, I don't watch a lot of tv and right now I'm missing DWTS, but I have replaced it with 'SYTYCD', those are the only reality shows I watch. The Canadian version is pretty good too btw.

Have to go, have a good day all.

my 2 crumbs:

Coffee Lounge or The Pub sound good to me.

Tea Room is too strait-laced. And i drink a lot of tea myself. Don't all coffee lounges serve tea ?

also it's a good suggestion, to rename the entire division. Maybe should keep a soupçon of general discussion, though. Maybe something like Coffee Lounge: General Discussion or Join the General Discussion in The Pub.

don't know about TRM as moderator, though. He's so strict. How about he campaigns for the position, & promises to lighten up, plus a couple other candidates, & then we vote.

do we have a young NDP candidate stepping forward ? remember, no need to speak french.

I want summer back.

kenojuak is still alive, in her late 80s now, a greatly-honoured & greatly-loved canadian artist.
