Answer :

Hi @nikipedia ! Long time no see! Glad you stopped by. It will be 10 years for me in August of this year also. The big changes for me was that 2 members of my family have died. I got very sick myself last fall, but have mostly fully recovered. I have a different job now than I did 10 years ago and mostly like it. I love the people I work with. But basically, things have remained the same. Tell us about you!
