Bellisseria Citizens presents, December in Bellisseria! This event is a nod to the days of yesteryear a time when parents would load up their families then drive about town to enjoy everyone's festive lights and decorations. Bellisserian neighbors have decorated their homes and opened them for you to visit, some have even put out gifts! If you would love to decorate your home and show off your Holiday spirit you can find more information on how to participate in the Bellisseria Citizens notices. If you would like to see all the beautiful decor here is the list of participants. This list is ever growing so check back for new locations. ♥ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RFXSdQZraxivhePRYXeftFmsKqQbWGqQpaSSIrlDVU4/edit?usp=sharing

Well do you ask before buying a product rl what their expenditure is? Hmmm not buying this Pepsi because they made to much last year.

Okay they were very clear up front it is a non-paid volunteered position right from the start. They have many people apply so anyone wanting them paid or even thinking they should be is a moot point. A mentor is a non-paid volunteer position to assist your fellow residents just starting out. You know they cleared this through the legal department, so it is not wage theft or shady. They are not interns hoping to be hired on. They are your neighbors helping because they want to, they like to. Why is it so hard for everyone to just say great if you want to do it then do it. If you do not want too, then do not. So simple!

No, they make around 70 million there abouts. I will not just throw out a figure without a source. Here is mine if you wish to look. Linden Lab Revenue: Annual, Quarterly, and Historic - Zippia.

I think as people weigh the pro's and con's of this program, we need to take into account that Linden Labs has an amazing legal team who makes sure that LL is not in violation of labor laws etc. Speculations of legality is a moot point as LL does nothing huge like this without the legal teams go ahead. If you think otherwise your uniformed of how a corporation works. Also given that it appears that LL is able to ascertain the issues with the last time, they are able to make adjustments to avoid the previous pitfalls. This is why it is called a New Generation of Mentors. It is a totally new mentor program. Also noted the "Pay it Forward" comment. That is about us being helped by some random person in SL when we started. Remember that person? I do! The ideal is as a resident we now can pay forward that kindness showed to us. Before everyone poo poo's this let's give the team a chance to show us what they are capable of. We cannot compare this to the previous mentor's as it is a new generation with new rules and leadership. This is a good thing for SL.

So exciting and it will be amazing!

I never said anyone else was not worthy. Please do not assume or read in what is not there.

This is an LL investment in the community. Some will think and accuse of favoritism, but I know of at least 17 people who volunteer at the BBB. No matter who you are the BBB door is open to you. If you want to go sit on the BBB lawn, chat, have coffee you are encouraged to do so. BBB welcome's us all and have put out dispensers, an intan, plus sitting areas. The building is full of information. An event board for us all to use (just have to reach out). Photo studio anyone is welcome to use. It is the home of the working post office for Bellisseria and the ambassador information. It is a public space for the community of Bellisseria. They work to foster community actively. This is no different than SL giving a private island for a financial charity donation. The staff of the BBB, donate their personal time and money. Jumping on their name is funny because they even mock their name. There is humor there and it was intended. The BBB volunteers give of themselves. Why jump all over people who give? Sorry I do not get this. They hold rallies for Bellisserria and SL. They have 2 publications, passports, kiosks, license plates, driver's licenses, and the mail office. These are things that take the BBB volunteer's time. A lot of time. While most of us are shopping, dancing, laughing many of the BBB are working to enrich our community and experience in SL. It is not just holding events or giving up one of their homes... it is again time, money, and labor. Apparently hard work is noticed. Glad to see it.

I think it is very important to remember that in all things this is Linden Labs Sandbox. They make the rules. Rules are in every chat service, virtual world, and game. Even ones you have to pay to play, and Second Life is no different. So, the rule is leaving the roof line alone. Okay can do.

It used materials, not bling. ♥ Thankfully. It is from Son!a. My veil was a hodge podge of {VINCUE} & Kibitz, Avaway, Rozoregalia, Supernatural, and Angelicus.

I am so excited to see this. Thank you to everyone involved in the wedding. Without our family and friends in SL and RL we would never have made it through this.♥ I hope everyone enjoys the premiere. I am still so in awe that I got to commit to my man rl & sl this way. A special call out to @Patch Linden and all of the Lindens and Moles who worked so hard to realize a dream come true. Thank you.♥

This is such a beautiful article Teresa. I deeply appreciate your talent, time, effort, and kindness.

Thank you everyone. We look forward to seeing everyone there.♥

Navigating the Bellisseria roadways can be confusing. As I am riding my scooter or jogging I tend to have to stop and look at the map to figure out where I am. Can the streets be named? It could even be done as a contest perhaps. I just think little roadway signs on the intersections would be a nice touch.

Can someone explain this auto refresh bell thing??? How to set it up?
