• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

The number 10 one is a good lesson. Imagine that you finally get published despite all the moaning and then they drop you because it's become habit forming for you to stop moaning! Wow.

It also goes along with what we were talking about in the staying positive thread. :) It's extremely difficult to be around someone, in real or cyber life, who does nothing but complain or see the negative side of things.

Yes, unfortunately negativity can be contagious which is why the thread on positive mindset is so powerful by @Paul Whybrow .

Living with negative family is so hard for me. Just the moaning annoys me..i end up moaning about their moaning!!
