I had a cool opportunity. Can you guess it? I know what most of you might say:
'You got caught in the rain. And then you felt like dancing in the rain in the old fashioned manner. Oh! it's so boring man! Start another discussion freak!'
Aha! You said it!
But you are wrong.
That's not what happened.
It rained. I didn't have an umbrella. I thought of enjoying the rain. But no, I did not do it! Instead I ran into my home with full speed and grabbed a towel for drying..
I am not scared of rain, but I don't ejoy it. Simply because I have a low immunity and get sick the next hour!
So anybody here enjoys the rain? Share and Enjoy...

LOL

Fixing drainage holes in the rain might not be a good idea. It could be irritating. If you wish to enjoy rains, we must go out and dance. Of course, everyone has their own methods...

I personally like rain. I love listening to it as it hits things. I like walking in it. I LOVE the smell of the grass and earth after it rains. It is like purifying and restful most of the times.
I even love it when it comes down hard and really storms. The only time I dont like rain is when it rains on something I have planned! lol

I love the rain and when I was young I would play in the rain. When I got a bit older I would welcome any reason to get soaked in the rain. Cheers!!

That's a pleasure!
And thanks for catching me a few raindrops- I really reject that offer. It would be easier to catch a cold!

And you were correct about the writing part- I am a novelist!

And I am glad that you enjoyed rains as a kid. I couldn't do it. Rather, I would be under my blanket!

Me too! When I was very little my mom just told me that rainy days were good for sleeping and I've found it quite true since maybe rainning has something to do with the content of oxygen in the air. But rainning winter evennings could be really depressing especially when you live somewhere that you have sunset at 4:00PM across the winter!!! I've skipped all my classes in those evennings...

I enjoy rain. My country belongs to tropical region.Now here is summer The temperature
is around 36 degree celsius. Too hot.When rain comes we feel relief.The temperature comes down. Yes in my childhood I used to dance in open field when raining.Now also I want to dance.But my age prevents me.

i will enjoy the rain only if its not a heavy rain hhehe. and maybe have some friends company me, that would be perfect!

Surely, heavy rain is more destructive than enjoyable. We can go out and dance, but it gives no dramatic enjoyment.
Yes, make sure that your friends come along too. It could be a very gret experience.

yes i did. It was last year that we came out or a motorbike then suddenly it rained. We got soaked in the rain, and passed by a hot spring and went to wash off there. It was really an experience of a lifetime though.
But i am still waiting for the rain to come here. Probably if it starts to rain, i will enjoy to sleep,lolz, oppps i forgot , i needed to go on further and make more posts here since i am not going to be paid for sleeping
Hey why you say you have low immunity? don't you take vitamins to give your body extra protection for getting sick? try to intake a lot of anti oxidant fruits and also take Vitamin C for a better body resistance.

I really appreciate you for giving the advice. I myself am a medical student.
Taking a lot of antioxidants and Vitamin C is not necessary. A lot can be a problem! I take some though and the best way to build immunity is by self.
Have a nice day then!

Hi, there well i dont enjoy enjoy the rain too man. I dont like the feeling of getting wet adn your clothes all sticking to you like some gluey stuff. then when the wind blows it is so cold. The feeling is not something i really like, i would rather stay indoors when it rains. Actually when i was younger i enjoyed the rain and thought it was fun getting wet. Well but i guess i grew out of it. Being dry and not getting wet is what i look for now when it comes to a rainy day.
best regards,
alvingb

Really? You don't enjoy it?
Well, it's a pity though. Many people enjoy rain. They love it. In fact even I enjoy rain too. But I cannot do that now because of my low immunity problems!

So there you are.
Tijani,
Even I felt this situation. It's really sad that we can't enjoy the rain...But of course, we can see it and enjoy indoors!

I absolutely love the rain, but only to a certain extent. For example, when my fiance decided to not come look for me when I was out walking and it started thundering and then it downpoured before I could get home I did not enjoy it. When it's raining too hard it kind of makes it hard to enjoy.
I really like the light showers, though, and the sound of a gentle rain on the roof and outside. It's got a really pleasant, almost romantic, atmosphere that I just can't resist.

Same with me here. Only to a certain extent.
Sometimes it screws up the fun we are having. And we might find it hard to enjoy. And for the romantic atmosphere... it's really cool!
Good Luck!

Does that mean that you are enjoying the rain? Well if you are, I wish you a good luck! If not, I still wish you a good luck!

I really enjoyed rain specially when I was a kid but nowadays I must say that I still enjoy it but not what you might think, I mean I like watching it and well since I lived in a tropical country it gets cold when it rains. By the way, the month of June is coming and I'm sure there's lot of storm going here but hopefully those storms won't caused so much damaged.

Yes. Watch the rain. It's good and mind relieving. There is nthing more than rain as a natural method to cool your head. And we'll pray for the prevention of storms!

Hi Ebook,
I enjoy the rain and love getting soaked in it. To tell you the truth, I could never get wet in the streets coz I became very conscious of myself but we have this wonderful terrace at my parents house and when it rained and I felt like it, I would just go and stand outside.
Very recently, we had the first norwester showers of the year...well, my son was at the playground and as usual I had got to pick him up and we both were dirty and sweating and it started raining...I had the umbrella but the wind was too strong...first we thought of waiting in a shop (like other people) but then I thought...what the heck! let's get wet...so (much to the utter delight of my son) we walked home thru the rain and storm.

One time I got wet cycling along a wet road then my bike got a puncture. I had to push it home and going down a hill I saw a colorful rainbow. I really love traveling and was in hot and humid Darwin. There was a thunder storm with lightening and heavy rain. I found it really refreshing and amusing getting soaked through. Another time I was with my ex-husband sitting on the beach when a thunder and lightening display happened. The atmosphere was amazing and it is a scene I will never forget. I prefer sunny weather to rain I must point out.

Rains are not enjoyable these days because of the effect of global warming. But yeah I do enjoy rain sometimes but not really heavy rains which causes landslides or devastation. Just a light raindrops with no wind and does not cause others to lose their lives. It's much better when you're served with a hot choco and you have a good historical book while curling up in bed ;) haha!

Yeah! I always enjoy rain. If I'm in a good mood, then that's the end! I can't control myself from getting wet. I always let my hands into rain and enjoy it if my parents are with me, as they will not allow to get wet. But when I'm alone, I'll just jump into it, play, sing, dance and do whatever I wish and enjoy the rain!
