    Happy time zones all! Rainy season has begun here. :)

    My rainy season started with heavy rain in the morning to the point that even with an umbrella, I had to take shelter like other people when it got too strong. On the way to work, I only had to cross one street before getting to my office. But the street was flooded and there was a strong current of muddy water going down the slope. Not wanting my shoes to get wet, I tried to look for another way but there was road construction there, so I thought I could quickly wade through, thinking that the water was shallow enough for only to get my soles wet. But once I stepped foot in the water, it reached way past my ankle so both of my shoes were soaked. I walked the remainder of my commute with squishy shoes.

    So there I was in the office that morning, the only person barefoot while letting my socks and shoes dry :lol:

    We're finally out of the rainy season... kind of. And I've long since started waterproof sandals everywhere, which neatly helps me avoid the wet socks problem.
    I don't remember how to change my signature.

    There is one thing I hate about writing Underlove.
    And that's writing about mornings.
    Because they're in Snowdin. A land filled with snow.
    So you can't really say "The sun rose"
    Because if the sun rose, there would be no snow.
    So, what am I supposed to write?
    "The morning became a thing"?
    XD

    Can't you still have sun with snow, just not intense heat. In winter, we still get snow during the day here, it's just a cold day. :)

    Lol! I love this. XD
    Well in NZ it can get very sunny and snowy at the same time.

    You get snow??? I didn't think you did for some reason... :lol:

    Hiya everyone ! I like this talk of rainy season ! We're in hot dry season now, but that's often a great precursor to a good rainy season in a month or so! Love summer rains!

    Happy timezones, folks! Hi, @CathyTea ! I'm loving the rain talk as well! Our summer started with heavy storms this year, but I'm enjoying it. It's a great opportunity to start writing again after being on hiatus for 6 months...
  • ForgottenPixelsForgottenPixels Posts: 11,376 Member
    Ooh, we discussing rain? We haven't actual had any rain here lately. I know. :open_mouth: I need some...I miss it! I'll trade you all for it if you want. You can have our sun (not warm, just sun) if you want...

    @CathyTea Wonderful! I had my final exam last week, so I'm actually not a student anymore - I'm a doctor now! It's so weird, I still can't wrap my head around that :lol:

    How are you? Do you have a new SimLit project?

    Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! What a huge accomplishment! :) Super proud... Just think, we can say "we knew you when!"

    I'm good! I do have a new SimLit writing project! It's a novel built around @BBQPenguinWings ' Summer House build. I'm really having fun with it. There's only one screenshot per chapter, and every Sunday's post is a poem, written by the narrator (who is also me, but fictional!). I'm enjoying it.

    Congratulations again on completing your studies and your exams! :) Dr. Maruska! :)

    Okay, I need some help... I've seen people putting polls in their stories on WordPress for things like heir voting. ANd I have absolutely no idea how to do that and would really love to for a 7sins post I'm currently working on. How is it done? Is it something built into word press? Do I need to get a poll from another site like strawpoll?

    Hi, @Shadami ! Here's some info about WordPress and PollDaddy: https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/polls/

    I'm not completely sure that this functionality is available with free WordPress, but you can try!

    What I did was create my poll through PollDaddy, then I got the embed code and info from there and inserted it into a WordPress post.

    So you can try that, too!

    If you run into issues/questions, feel free to check back. I just sort of experimented around, but if it doesn't work for you through experimenting, check back, and I'll be happy to see about providing more specific instructions!
