I always feel like somebody's watching me .... *brow waggles*

I am friends with many people and an acquaintance with even more people in Bellisseria. Keeping busy with the community, I have not deviled into the GoH trend. I did in fact, get a home in a nice location, that was abandoned. And I have offered up nice locations I was leaving to friends and strangers alike. People have a right to be upset/annoyed. And if they choose to be snarky about it, that's their prerogative, too. Though unfortunately, it often ends up getting a thread locked down when a discussion is no longer a discussion but an argument. Am I in a fortunate position? Choosing to be friends with people, no matter who they are, is a kindness I can afford and in turn, I am fortunate for having more friends. I find in life, a kindness, a forgiveness, being more understanding and less judgmental keeps my wellbeing in a good place and extends my desire to share the great things about the Bellisseria community I have discovered with others.

@Matthieu Quander is right. This topic has been addressed in multiple threads and they usually get locked down because of snark, then a new one pops up. Topics are great to have discussions of common interest. One can only hope people will continue a thread with civility, even when they disagree about the topic's content or opposing opinions and views.

I wanted to try a video with only still images and tell a little story. Hope you enjoy.

Into The Sea - The Siren's Spell Song I made this video for all our Mermaid and Siren lovers in Second Life. I hope you enjoy. - Pru ♥ Still photos taken in Bellisseria, Second LIfe.

Cian and I stopped by the memorial with Bel. A breathtaking tribute to Ebbe Altberg.

The Bellisseria Fawn Hamster This clever little Deer Hamster showed up at Bellis Blues Cafe and whisked away the Bellisseria 2nd Anniversary Stamp vendor, to the mysterious isle of Hamsters, where they collect an odd assortment of strange things and horde it away, forever!

I'm a huge fan of the Bandit boat series. We have the Bandit60 Sailboat and I acquired the Bandit 170 small craft motorboat. Its very easy to navigate your way around the waterways of Bellisseria. There's a nice article about the boat here: https://modemworld.me/2020/04/25/bandit-170-a-pocket-cruiser-thats-coming-second-life/

I'll put my 2 little cents worth in here. The question: "How many chalets is enough?" Someone could also rephrase this as how many Linden Premium homes is enough for one person? The issue doesn't really seem to be how many homes any one person (or group of friends) has, but the location of their Linden home premium properties. It is a lot like the Lotto, you roll the numbers and you might get lucky and hit the jackpot. But most of us settle for a small prize or even another ticket to play again. With Linden premium homes, some of us tend to forget what our membership states we'll each receive from Linden Labs when you pay for a premium membership. Premium Member Benefits Benefits Include Weekly L$300 stipend* L$1000 sign-up bonus** for first-time Premium Account subscribers Priority entry when regions are full of avatars 1024m² tier allotment for use towards a Linden Home (subject to availability) or a parcel on the Mainland Expanded live-chat customer support Premium virtual gifts Exclusive access to Premium areas and experiences Increased cap on missed IMs Increased group membership limits Voice Morphing Each premium member is allowed to receive 1 Linden Premium home per account (subject to availability). Linden Labs does not promise or guarantee any of us a special plot that some find ideal, and others might not. It's all on personal taste and preference. There are really no bad Bellisseria home locations. But yes, there are some that are better than others and preferred by residents to gain. Sometimes we are beating a dead horse to complain over and over again. Keep trying, you'll find a nice location you like, unless you are setting your expectation and standards too high, then you'll be left with a lot of disappointment, sadly. Bellisseria is a great community. Search the Bellisseria groups, make some new friends. No one has to feel alone on this vast continent if they wish to have that community of neighbors they can enjoy and fill some of their SL time with.
