Posters from the past you miss.

Speaking of Koolguy and Bunny, I wonder if the thonged one still has his Scion forum. Anybody know?

Dazed is also someone I caught up with, during one of my many chats about Manhunter (1986), and she seemed to come from the old IMDb boards, and were very informative and provided with lots of interesting talks about her favorite film (which is also one of mine) but I was surprised to see, she had not been here since last summer.

Hi Chalice. I'm back and I sent you a pm. 

Welcome Back. 

Glad to see you are back. 

And you have nothing to apologize for, as sometimes I guess we all do need a bit of a time out, every now and then. As things happen (maybe more for the past 12 months for many), and I can absolutely relate to that.

Yeah, I sure do miss mszanadu, and also all the nice little chats about everything from music to horror films. 

I have missed you too Jayman  and I just sent you a PM. 

When all of what has been going on for the past 11-12 months, starting to really act up, and with the whole lockdown period during march-april (in my country), I tried to not let the constant negative headlines and news, put me down or make me too anxious. However, I got a bit shaked up, when I suddenly started developing a certain "tingling" sensation in the chest, and later on had blood in my spit, and a few other symptoms as well, which made me fear I had something nasty taking place in my body. 

While I have never had pneumonia, the health anxiety part, along with the constant bad news coming up, with all kind of horror stories, 24/7, made me shy away from my family and just be indoors for weeks. But when I noticed the blood in the spit, and that special feeling in my chest, I was pretty upset. The blood in the spit part ended not long after, but the weird feeling in my chest/lungs, held on at last for several weeks, but never ended up getting into something worse or serious.

But for a few weeks, I slept terribly, and felt I had problems breathing when I lie down (most likely the anxiety did not help out much on that part), and I also did the mistake of searching/looking up all kind of systems/signs from Dr. Google, and then all of a sudden, things (for my part) was back to normal.

Hopefully that is how it is with you as well, but I guess getting back to the normal days again, in general, is something we might just have to live with a for a while longer.
But browsing through and chatting with the familiar ones, on this site, has certainly been one of the daily highlights for me, and I guess that I am not alone on feeling like that either.

Yes, I do remember we hit on well, with Judas Priest, and a few others as well.
I have not heard of James Durbin, as I am a "bit" far behind on what is going on, with modern music, but I do appreciate a few recommendations, and that album cover, is quite a piece of artwork, makes me think of comcis like Conan the Barbarian and Spawn.

About the two songs you posted. I think the second one: Into the Flames, is the one I enjoyed most. Not that the first one is any bad, but Into the Flames feels or sounds like something that could easily have been included into an late 80s horror film, which in my ears, is a good thing. 
 
Completely agree with you on the warmth and kind replies by mszanadu, as they always put a smile on my face, that and her standout avatar from the film Harvey, which I did not know of, until just not that far ago. Somehow, that image has just been stuck with me, and always felt kind of "silly" to ask her where she had that picture from. But when I finally saw the film, I felt the feel good and sweet tone, that movie included so much of, lived up to mszanadu and her including and friendly appearance.   

Anyway, I hope that your are doing fine, and is rid of the pneumonia. 
I guess we well be catching up again, sooner or later, as I try to visit the General Discussion board, a bit more often, and will surely try to keep in touch with the videos posted in "What song are you listening to right know".
