BREAKING: Michelle Obama quietly discussing putting together a coalition of wealthy black donors for Kamala Harris, per WH official
I read a little trick to help you remember what you went into another room to get/do. As soon as you get sidetracked along the way, such as, you straighten a picture on the wall or put something in a closet, pick up any small item and put it in your hand to remind you of your original intent. Amazingly it actually works.
That’s a good one.
One trick that has worked for me is to think back to exactly what it was I was doing before I headed off to the other room. That usually triggers me to remember what it was I needed.
If not, I can always find something to do in the other room!
I’m hopeless in the what did I enter room for saga. For at least 40 years
And this
“In 1980, a man named Richard turned on his television and saw a female player from Romania receiving a check for $40,000 after winning a tennis tournament.
The whole scene was enough to shock Richard. This was a far more than his annual salary.
WITHIN A FEW YEARS, HE DECIDED THAT HIS YOUNG DAUGHTERS WOULD ALSO PLAY TENNIS.
After turning off the television, he sat down and wrote a 78-page document outlining a plan for his two young daughters to flee their hometown of Compton, California, an area known for notorious black gangster violence.
But there was also a problem that Richard didn’t know anything about tennis, he didn’t have the money to pay for his daughters to train for this expensive sport, and maybe it’s incredible to you that his daughters weren’t even born at that time.
Over the next five years, he collected tennis-related magazines and video cassettes. He also taught himself to play tennis. Five years later, according to his plan, Richard had a tennis racquet in the hands of his two daughters, the same magazines and videos and what he had learned from them.
Now, he was the father and coach of these little girls, he began to teach them the game of tennis.
Poor Richard would sometimes go to local country clubs to collect used tennis balls from bins and load them into a shopping cart, so that his daughters could practice with them on public tennis courts, since he was unable to afford the basics for them.
He was overprotective and physically strong as a father, and was often beaten by local gang bullies while trying to protect his daughters from harassment during trainings. On one occasion when he refused to leave the practice court with his daughters, they broke his nose, jaw and fingers, and knocked out several of his teeth.
Richard got home with his daughters, opened his diary, and wrote: “After today, history will remember the ‘toothless’ man as a monument of courage.”
Since tennis was a predominantly white sport at the time, people would stare and shout at the black family as Richard and his daughters traveled to various tennis courts for junior tournaments.
Once the girls asked, “Daddy, why do people stare at us so badly,” he replied, “Because they are not used to seeing such beautiful people before.”
The wheel of time turned quickly and the calendar page turned sharply to the year 2000, when a tall, lean black girl set out on a journey to play at the Wimbledon tournament final, and thousands of miles away from her native ghetto, Richard watched his eldest daughter play on the grass in front of London’s elite, celebrities and royalty
.
That was the time When no one had ever seen a tennis player with such a powerful serve and fast footwork, nor had they ever heard shots so loud.
It’s like every ball is being beaten and every ball is crying out in pain because she played with vigour
When the girl reached a stage where victory was ahead of fear, the girl looked at her father standing in the stands who was encouraging her to achieve victory by shouting loudly, as he has always told his daughters, that “One day, we’re going to win Wimbledon, and it’s not going to be for us. It will be for the helpless and poor people of America.”
RICHARD’S 20-YEAR-LONG STRUGGLE PLAN HAD NOW REACHED A CRITICAL POINT IN HISTORY.
As the opponent’s ball hit the net, cameras caught a teary-eyed Richard dancing wildly as he watched his daughter Venus Williams win the first of her seven Grand Slam titles. Over the next several years, Richard also watched his youngest daughter Serena Williams win 23 major tournaments and become one of tennis greatest players of all time.
For all their success on the tennis court, what Venus and Serena endured off the court is the most impressive part of their father‘s journey.”

Remind me never to go to Michigan. I can hardly believe that a law like this can be passed in the United States of America. There is so much to hardly believe anymore.
LOL,good one!!!
That sounds like a good idea. All I usually have to do is think where I came from and what I was doing, but that little object will remind me of that. Thanks.
Great story!
Reminds me a bit of Dr. Carson story, with his mom being bound and determined he would succeed
What amazing parents
But they aren’t the ones that The left wants to emulate. It’s bizarre.

I find that if I step back, through the same door, to where I was before, it comes back to me.
Ain’t that interesting

What a dilemma for the Democrats.
They want to replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, but how can they argue he can’t be the candidate and remain POTUS?
Kamala must be really upset.
They don’t want her to be president so bad, they are torn to pieces about what to do.
Meanwhile, America just keeps falling apart under all the Democrats in charge, so it doesn’t really matter which one they pick.
