According to another biographer, at the time of filming James Garner was a major tv star due to Maverick and was doing well on the big screen with, Up Periscope, and, Children’s Hour. Bronson had been in the business longer, had worked extremely hard, but his career was really going nowhere at this stage. He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder where he felt, perhaps with some justification, that he was as good as some of the actors in the star-studded production.
What annoyed Garner was his lack of fairness as regarded a bit player.
One day, about a year after filming had been completed there was a poker game at Garner’s house with Bronson present. Garner was not a participant, only an onlooker. The hand was down to Bronson and an unknown extra. Bronson bet $50, then, realising he had probably made a mistake went to take the cash back. Garner pointed out he was not allowed to do this while everyone else in the group stayed silent. Bronson started to complain but Garner insisted the money be returned to the pot and, as it turned out, the young extra won the hand. It probably represented a great deal of money to him.
Garner wrote that Bronson took it badly and bad-mouthed him after that. He promised never to work with Garner again.
James finished the piece by writing. ‘’Throughout my life, there have been a few guys who didn’t like me because I was outspoken. Hell, I never thought I was outspoken, I just told the truth.”
A true gentleman and real hero.
Movie Quotes/Lines.
The weather forecasts on the iPad is pretty much thunderstorms until next weekend, so bad weather all out. So little or no cycling.
According to my new iPad my house cordinates are:
The video kind of states that all the others went off and found love and I didn’t and probably because I was never supposed to, and not supposed to have more financial freedom and such.
But the strongest warriors of God are those who go through hell and help others sharing their suffering to help heal others, because we who suffered ass such know what others have felt and that there is hope and that they can move from there, and we, who never progress, we get to watch others one-by-one progress in empathy, love, mental stability and so on.
Just mopped the kitchen floor with the steamer.

So for Christmastime I bought me a new iPad and now I am broke 🙂
I wanted one for drawing, and I will do a review on it as well. I got a pen, but not the $200 pen, too expensive, but I will get it in the future.
I am learning vector drawing, I have always been able to do pixel art, so adding this all together should be interesting.
Working through Christmas I presume so that Colin and Anna can have breaks with their families and each other.

Children of pushy Narcissist parents don’t know love, all they know is the feelings of trying to please a Narcissist.
When the child of a Narcissist is an adult he or she will seek what they thought was love, and they will not recognise true-love because it is not what they expect or are used to, but they will recognize a Narcissist and will see the attention from the Narcissist as true love.
The adult-children of a Narcissist can only learn love from a genuine loving person, someone who is the opposite of their parents and past lovers.
Wrote this on the White Ribbon page about domestic violence/emotional abuse in the home. Most of this was based on my own experience living with a Narcissist:
• • •
Silence (not speaking out about the abuse and not seeking help) is what allows it to continue but when one is the victim of violence and/or emotional abuse they struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel that is their escape. Instead their natural survival instincts kick in and they hang on for dear life and quietly allow themselves to be abused.
The real sad part (especially for me) was that the children can see the abused person as weak, pathetic, a loser and become very angry at the abused, and in some cases even side with the abuser who seems to be the stronger and more intelligent one. And this just adds to the feelings of the abused struggling to cope or survive without the abuser.
A big struggle is also that the abusers (as with Narcissists) are often popular in the public’s eye, especially in their own profession and their own town. They are careful to keep a strong base of supporters and people who really like, love and support the abuser in the work place, in public, socially etc.
Escape for the abused is not easy.
Speaking out is not easy.
And in many cases the one who abused is the one with the less money and will find it a great financial struggle to break free, especially if they take the children from the relationship with them, often they go timidly to WINZ. Depending on the Case Manager this will be a smooth or very hard move.
At times the victim may think about escape, speaking out, making a run for it, but sadly our society has a way of punishing, shaming, and making it hard for people who are trying to get away. Instead of society being a sol;id base of help for the abused it is a stronghold and support base for the popular abusers who have friends, money and support.
The most vicious part is those (the Flying Monkeys or just the supporters of the abuser) who quickly run to the side to sympathize, comfort and support the abuser and instantly turn on and dislike the one who was abused.
These (Flying Monkeys etc) are often good people who have been seduced over a long period of time by the abuser to always see them as a worthy soul, a great person, a good faithful caring friend, and in their desire to help their “friend” they viciously attack the person the abuser hurt for so many years.
When you are the abused and you are trying to reach out you may make the big mistake of saying something bad about the abuser to someone while desperately seeking help and then they go right back and repeat what you said to the abuser and the abuse gets even worse. The abuser then works on ways of making sure people won’t support you by telling people that the abused has mental issues, is on medication and is unable to cope on their own, and this of course makes the abuser out to be a real hero putting up with the ungrateful character of the abused.
The abused often feels very much alone, lost, confused and helpless, and in this mental state the thought of leaving just becomes even more distant and hopeless.
Society needs people who will be available to help people and remove them from a bad situation, but for the abused to speak out and seek help they need to know that there is hope and that someone will listen and help them, because often they have been mentally/emotionally been abused for so long they have no confidence and feel that the situation is hopeless.
People won’t reach out for help if they feel that the situation is hopeless and everyone around them loves and is there for the abuser.
We, the public, we need to be their hope, their safety net, and we need to back up and support them in getting away from the abuser.
○
Even if the abuser is not taken to court etc, at least we can be there in marriages to help males and females who feel the need to get away from the person who they married and be so clear of the situation that they won’t have to feel the shame, struggle and especially the dislike and hate from the gullible supporters of the abuser.
Then they can start again.
All the best from
James M Sandbrook.
