Hello SF family! Its always good to see you.
I've been pleased to see the general response to Cafes lately. Today I have a Cafe question in addition to some general would you rather questions.

What do you like most about the Cafes? Like the least? How can we make it a better experience for you?

and

Would you rather spend a weekend in a tropical paradise or a snow haven?

Would you rather speak 10 languages or play 10 instruments?

Would you rather always be two hours early or 20 minutes late?

What do you like most about the Cafes ? - Opportunity to offer a temporoary distraction from the stresses of everyday life

How can we make it a better experience for you? - Offering free coffee, chocolate donuts and foot massages

Would you rather spend a weekend in a tropical paradise or a snow haven? Having experienced both (Bali and Swiss Alps) I'll be happy with either scenario

Would you rather speak 10 languages or play 10 instruments? 10 languages


Would you rather always be two hours early or 20 minutes late? 2 hours early. Can't stand tardiness. Unless there's a perfectly valid reason I see it as a sign of disrespect towards others.

Cool cafe, love the theme, thanks for posting it Angie, and good to see you too, hope you’re well and having a good day :)
I will do some tags after I reply to the questions.

What do you like most about the Cafes?
Like the least?

How can we make it a better experience for you?

First of all, just want to say that I love all these questions, very fun! :)
1. The questions (especially fairly “light” and fun ones like these are definitely a thing I love most about cafes. I like it if they have a theme, if they ask how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking about (encourages dialogue and general expression of those things, always means a LOT to me when people express an interest/caring about those things).
Also, similar to what Ash600 said - I like that it’s a distraction from whatever might be going on with me, and also that it’s a place where hopefully some social interaction/responsiveness can happen as well. I always deeply love and appreciate that, more than words can say :)
I guess when there isn’t either some questions or a theme then I tend to not like those cafes quite as much, but really whenever one is posted then I am happy, and if there’s no q’s or a theme then I will just pop in, say hi, perhaps talk a bit about my current thoughts/feelings and wish everyone a nice day. I enjoy doing that too, and it feels good to send good/positive vibes to others :)

2. Hard to answer this one other than with a bit of a “joke” answer like how Ash600 did (love it, too funny!) but I guess as long as there’s either some questions, a theme and hopefully where it’s never too “heavy” or depressing then that’s the most important thing imo. I’m grateful for all who ever take the time to post cafes tbh, so I generally try to turn off any kind of “critical” part of my brain when I come into them (another thing I love about them so much, lol) ;)

3. I’d rather spend a weekend in a snow haven, cos I don’t like the extreme heat that usually comes with tropical locations. Plus, as I know was already said, much easier to protect against cold (ie - just adding more layers) than it is to cool down when it is really warm (unless there’s AC I guess lol) :p

4. I’d rather be able to play 10 diff instruments, either of those abilities would be very impressive and would be the main reason I would want to have them lol.

5. I’d rather always be 2 hours early, cos then at least l wouldn’t be disrespecting someone’s time. I can usually always find “something” to go and do when I get somewhere “early”.

Personally I like the dynamic of simply answering curious questions and seeing other people's answers, it's fun! and it makes me happy to see that they are daily hehehe
*grouphug2It reminds me a little of this emoji, it's literally us in the cafe/forum in general, or something like that :3

(Parentheses. Before I didn't really understand why I was tagged in these threads because I only saw a lot of other people tagged because I didn't know what it meant when I couldn't see the beginning of the thread Lol and now I feel a little bad for not having responded sooner, from now on I will!)

And I would prefer the snow, I LOVE snow, I'm a little used to it and I prefer the cold more, wearing a lot of winter clothes while drinking hot chocolate sounds great!

I love the idea of being able to play all the instruments I always wanted to learn, such as piano, violin, guitar and many more, I was previously learning to play the piano but I had to quit :(

2 hours early! *stars

Thank you @Angie for the cafe and @JMG for tagging me :D

I like it the way it is, no real complaints here.

and

A tropical paradise, I see enough snow yearly as it is.

Would you rather speak 10 languages or play 10 instruments?
Hmm that's a hard one, maybe 10 instruments because I would be pretty talented then :D

Would you rather always be two hours early or 20 minutes late?
Two hours early but that sounds like me anyway :P

I love the answers given by others, it is a good way to expose yourself to other ways of viewing the world through someone else's experiences. It is much like picture threads of travels that get shared. I also love the bit of whimsy that can come out. This forum has so much that is serious naturally so part is a place to vent, seek advice and offer and receive support and here it is just let yourself go with a bit of relaxing and good natured type topics.

Even though I have always adjusted better to heat than cold I still like the idea of snow especially since this area rarely gets snow. We just get ice storms mostly.

Would you rather speak 10 languages or play 10 instruments?

Speak 10 languages would be my choice.

Would you rather always be two hours early or 20 minutes late?

20 minutes late. Two hours early would be too taxing and I can't imagine anybody wanting to spend an extra 2 hours around me. LOL. Now for 20 minutes early OR late it would be the 20 minutes early.

Hey, thanks for opening up @Angie and thanks for the tag @JMG and @KM76710
I don't really have a comment about what I like about or improving the cafe. I just like that it's been back up to speed a bit more recently and been opening up more. Sometimes it gets quiet here.

Would you rather spend a weekend in a tropical paradise or a snow haven?

I would prefer snow. I love snow! I don't always do great with heat.
Would you rather speak 10 languages or play 10 instruments?

I'd pick 10 languages because I feel like that would open up my world more significantly and also allow me to help others.
Would you rather always be two hours early or 20 minutes late?

I'm pretty neurotic about being late, so I'd choose the early option. Sometimes this seems like a decision I have to make when figuring out bus schedules in reality lol

Sorry @Angie, I hope it's okay to not answer all those questions. I'm really weary from this darn flu & what's been going with me for these past months. I just want to say that the idea of Jim's Cafe is great! It's a place where people can gather to have some lighthearted fun & get to know each other. I'm not sure about how it can be improved. I think it's great already! Thank you for tagging me @JMG! Hopefully I'll get to the headspace where I can fully participate in Jim's Cafe & other places on SF. Right now it just in snatches.

No need to apologize. Sometimes I, myself am unable to answer questions!

Thank you for another terrific cafe Angie and for tagging me KM.

What I like most about cafes is that it brings the members together. What I like least is that I wish that more members would join in.

Id rather be in a tropical paradise seeing bright colors seeing beautiful beach. 🏄

I'd luv to speak ten languages. If I had the funds I could travel and converse freely and meet new people. ✈️
