You were always awesome, and it's excellent that you're still not many 'alive' like so many are but *writing* -- and in China, wow. Consider yourself hugged, and please do tell us about "lots going on." :)
I wasn't fishing for complements or hugs, but they're always better than a kick in the head. Your article sure made me smile. Thanks for remembering... and I do wonder what ever happened to Hairy.
Also I love "Buenos Diaz" -- snappy title.
I'm gonna put your blog into my regular surf cycle and re-read your old entries, cuz they're *good*, Gloria. Looking forward to anything new too, when you have the time. Peace over and out, as the kids say these days.
Lots of material on EdgeofGloria, so I think you'll laugh, you'll cry, and wonder what the hell is going on!!!!! LOL!
I'm glad you enjoyed my column on Pathetic Life. I miss the 90s.

I don't post so much on EdgeofGloria, but I have been checking out the stats, and SOMEONE must be reading it...I can't believe some of the numbers of post views! I don't think I'm so "edgy" anymore, and I think I'm not as angry anymore, but I'm sure glad you came across my blog and reached out!!!!
Thanks for the links to where you really are, and I just learned how to ride the Chinese subway from your YouTube page. Made me want some kung pow chicken. I wouldn't have the app to snap a picture of the QR code, though. I'm not a smart phone guy.
In exchange for your helpful links, here's me briefly talking about you a few days ago. https://www.itsdougholland.com/2022/09/is-that-all-it-takes-to-make-myself-ass.html
Back in the glorious 1990s, Sarah-Katherine published a 'zine called Pasty. It was one of the best ones of the perzine genre. She talked about coffee and food and a sex party and checking out the jail and getting drunk for science. We got to know each other via mail. Yours truly published a 'zine called Angry Young Woman. We traded 'zines, and I also got 'zines from other talented writers. Well, Sarah-Katherine got a legit publishing deal and went on to publish Indecent: How I Fake it and Make it as a Girl For Hire and Sex and B acon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me . A review on Sex and Bacon will be coming from me . Indecent sounds awesome too, and as a repressed Catholic girl, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sarah-K's latest publishing venture is about being in rehab. If you loved her 'zine, you'll love Rehab A Go-Go . I know I did. Sarah-Katherine is a hell of a writer. Entertaining, funny, philosophical. She's talented and ...
Americans are crying right now--Hostess is bankrupt, no more Twinkies, Ho Hos and so forth. I really doubt that these snack cakes are going anywhere. Hostess may be no more, but do you really think Twinkies are going to go away? They may no longer be HOSTESS Twinkies, but I am willing to bet that brand will be snapped up by someone. Remember Bun bars? You probably don't, if you are not a Fort Wayne native. But I was completely hooked on these things, and I can remember buying a snack size bag before Halloween, and eating them in my bed. These candy bars came in a variety of flavors. My favorite was vanilla. The vanilla center was then covered with chocolate and peanuts. I loved them. If you've ever eaten a Reggie bar (named after Reggie Jackson) back in the 70s, they were about the same as the Bun bar. Then, they stopped making the Bun bar. Or rather, Clark bought the bar, which had been made by Wayne Bun Candy Company, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Clark then sold to Pears...
