What a wonderful selfie, Monika! Thank you for your first comment.

You can replace "once" by "one time" , "in the past", " on one occassion". I can't think of more

I forgot to write about our gym club when I wrote about my life experiences in Pasvalys! And I am one of the oldest costumers there! I think I have been going there for 9 years now. It has helped me to lose weight too, and also to relieve my stress and anxiety.

I lived in Pasvalys until 2001.Since 2001 I have been living in Pasvalys district.
Then living in Pasvalys at the time and now living in the area, a lot of nice and interesting things have happened to me.
In my life there were=have been people who became very good friends these are wonderful people. (Your life hasn't finished yet! )

I have never lived in Pasvalys but I often come there.I have lived in Birzai for all my life.I like my city.I have a job and here spend free my time.I am meet =have met a lot of interesting people.Here the life is going quietly.

I have lived in Pasvalys since my birth. After graduating I was studying in Panevėžys, then in Šiauliai. But I was not impressed by these cities.
The greatest adventures has happened in 1999 ("happenned" - nes nurodėte metus). Half of our house fell into a sinkhole. My parents now live on=in the other side of the house.

Wow! The sinkhole that swallowed a half of a house is an extraordinary event

I have lived in Pasvalys since 1986.
It is a long life here.I love thise small town.Those were my best years,the ones I enjoyed the most.
Since I moved to Lithuania I have improved a little bit my Lithuanian.
I have bought a flat and I have started a job.
I,m =have met a lot of interesting people,with whom I became fiends.

My friend came with her little son from Vilnius to visit me and she said: "I would love to live in Pasvalys!"

I have lived in Pasvalys since 1999 when I have come=came to work. (came - nes užbaigtas veiksmas praeityje)
I have thought when I would work in short and return to Kaunas or another bigger city. But I get=got used to it and stayed.
There have been all new to me here. This is the dialect, usages=lifestyle?, the new stranger town and new people.

I'm glad you stayed and found our English club

Talking about my lessons to learn English, it is useful for communication.

I' ve already lost 14 kg and I am planning to grow more muscles
