10 years in myLot today...my, how time flies

85,812 hours.
And I've probably 'earned' $0.0070 an hour average. 
But I've met a lot of cool people...and have seen many changes.
In fact, I've made many 'changes', the least of all being my user account...RIP myklj999
But I am still here, plodding along, kicking up dirt and raising Hell (Hell is growing up into a fine young kid) and barring major accidents, strokes, aneurysms or things of that nature, I may be here 10 years from now.
A decade of myLot...I sure didn't see THAT coming when I was younger.

My anniversary is next month, November fourteenth. I knew you had me beat by a month. I like to think we have become good friends because of the site.

@JolietJake I did not know about the site Diana suggested to join, when Bubblews started to give problems.

There is actually a pretty good sized bunch of us that have been here about that long...I know Owl celebrates his in 10 days from today, and Heather and a few others joined in November 2006 I believe...but yeah, most of the people from back then are long gone

@JolietJake Yeah, speaking of photos, I need to change mine. The one shown was when I was 40. Now at 65, I've got short, curly hair and of course a heck of a lot more wrinkles. I think I'll wait until Xmas though and have my sis take the pic.

Oh man... now you're making me feel old, too! I'm just a couple of months behind you... I joined in late December. I think it might have been the 26th.
Kind of surprising how well Hell is turning out, considering how many of us have been raising it...
