Welcome back! 
What were you doing these two and half years? 
I'm in relationship of 3,5 years with an awesome woman who has greatly changed my life for the better.

I worked for a couple of months clearing neglected irrigitation canals, then I've been retraining as a pharmacy technician, completed a year of internship and now I'm working at a local pharmacy. I'm planning to get car of my own soon.
My world view has evolved somewhat, I've expanded my musical and movie tastes, my hair is graying quite visibly now, and my English has deteriorated.

Welcome back jansenov! Its been awhile!
Indeed it has, Nick! Looking forward to getting up to speed with you.
Welcome back! I remember seeing a lot of you once but I don't think we've ever met before! 
I remember you as well, I guess it is a good time as ever to meet up then.

Now this is most welcome news!
Welcome back, jansenov, it is great to have you back on the forum!
I hope that life has been treating you well over the last few years.
I'm really filled with joy seeing you, rhombus!

I feel great being here. Life's been nice to me, occassionally.

Welcome back!!

I’ve seen you around the forum, but I just joined in October, so I wasn’t around while you were active.
Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing you more around here.
Ah it is good to see you Jansenov! Welcome back my friend 
It's even better seeing you, Mumbling! It's an honor knowing you.
