28 May 19 - 01:33 PM (#3994330) Subject: BS: Mary Latham's upcoming book, in progress From: keberoxu I never before heard of Mary Latham, maybe you haven't either. Seems to be single, close to her widower father. The loss of Mary Latham's mother, to cancer, spurred her to do something in her mother's memory. The book she intends to publish is aimed at hospital waiting rooms, like the rooms she waited in during her mother's final crisis, the last week of her mother's life. The official name of Mary Latham's endeavor is The GrAttitude Project. The content will be stories of kindness from all fifty states. And I have one weird little techno question, referring to her website, which is spelled "www dot moregood dot today." What the ruddy heck is "dot today" ?? I thought I'd seen everything: dot com, dot net, dot org, dot two-letter abbreviation for country, and so on. But I never before saw "dot today" . Is this for real? Should I leave a message on Ms. Latham's site and ask her? |

That seems to be NOT its function or intention. But if I am mistaken, a post will come from me and admit as much. |

28 May 19 - 04:32 PM (#3994356) Subject: RE: BS: Mary Latham's upcoming book, in progress From: keberoxu Just to get a statement that sounds factual in here. March 1, 2013. That is the date Mary Latham gives, as the date of her mother's death from cancer. I found this date, not at "dot today," but at Mary Latham's tumblr site. Here's the address of the page: More Good -- The Mission. The "dot today" site links directly to the tumblr site which DOES appear to have reports, updates, and story summaries. It looks like this lady is sincere, this is not a scam or what have you. |

This places her website, and its URL, in a certain context for me. Mind you, I am one of the ignoramuses about matters virtual. But even I can't help but notice that Mary Latham has got a website for her photography profession, a page at weebly, an account at instagram, a Twitter account, a GoFundMe fundraiser page, a Facebook page ... probably more stuff that I could have scared up if I took more time to look for it. |
