There’s only one way to do this right folks.
For each week you participate in this virtual “Nature’s Calling” event, you must go outside and touch grass. Not artificial grass, the real stuff. Actually go outdoors and do it. I dare ye.
And none of that “but I live in the middle of a desert” nonsense. There will be grass somewhere.
Don’t worry I’ll be out there touching grass and breathing in trees. I do that anyway. I just wonder how far others will go. 🧝🏼♂️🧙🏻♂️
ETA: 4 weeks of touching grass before I can get my hands on that outhouse…
Sorry folks, I'm a tad confused with how the forum handles replies these days. I wasn't logged in earlier, and honestly, it wasn't immeditately obvious to me that people had actually responded....with some rather burning questions no less!! I've only just now had the chance to respond, having been far too busy frolicking in the meadow, communing with trees, dancing with daffodils, and...well, smoking gra - Nevermind. Isn't that what the kids say nowadays? Or was that a 90's thing?
Let me quote parts of the parts that I missed and answer them with more burning questions. I might be doing it all wrong but sure you'll be able to figure it out 😅:
Instructions unclear 🧐
Mmmm...could there be anything more obvious than grass? Any grass will do, as long as it's the real thing. No gardening gloves. It doesn't matter which body part: skin to grass. Awaken the senses! Sneeze if you must. Antihistamines welcome.
I just spent two weeks outdoors, walking around in the heat and in the rain! (No devices.) Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll pass.
That sounds like a right aul' blast! Or was it? No devices at all? Not even a compass? How did you find your way back to civilization after the "Back to Nature, Nature" event? Did you follow the stars? Or perhaps a winding river?
Just once a week or every day? Easy peasy for me since I have a garden. Hubby even sleeps in the garden when it gets really hot (too hot in the house) - like this week's 31 degrees... that's boiling for us here in rainy England lol.
Stay at least as long as the event lasts. If it's an hour, spend an hour touching grass. If it's just two seconds, a wee toe tap to the lawn will do.
Also, too hot inside the house? Are you sure it wasn't you heating things up? He's your hubby after all. 😜
Did he end up building a whole garden fort for himself, or was it more of a full-blown open-air snoring concert? I'm guessing he's one of those heatwave snorers, but I could be wrong. 31 Celcius can do wild things to a man, well, that's if the English weather actually had anything to do with it. Over here in Innisgreen anything over 21 Celcius is practically apocalyptic.

You can now set in your profile how the replies are ordered, either in chronological order (like in the vanilla forums), or stacked under the post they refer to.

To add to what crocobaura already said, you can also check your profile page. From there you see all your recent posts fast and also if it has any replies. From there you can click to your post directly and it shows all the replies under it.
I often use this, as my notifications are pretty mess and all over the place.

Then you would positively explode over here, in Vermont USA, during the heat dome we just experienced and during our 'Dog Days of Summer' (last-ish week in July through 2nd week in August, traditionally). The heat dome brought two days of temps in the 95-100F, and the 'Dog Days' can generally get into the low `99-115F (or so) range. At least that's what it's been like for the past decade or so. (Growing up in the 70s & 80s, 'Dog Days' temps usually didn't go higher than 85F-ish.)
Octane Fuel...that's what keeps my grass looking beautiful and artificial...it's the real thing next to fertilizer, it's better than water.
