Being negative dose ture people off, there no question about that. But I know for me, somtimes you just need to be alone on thoes days where you just don't want to be botherd by anybody. But I lucky to have had friend who somtimes just wont leave me alone and they end up makeing me fell better and cheering my up anyway. So sometimes you just have to let go of yourself and let other people in and help you. Later I feel bad about the way I was acting before towards them becaus it's really not them that I was mad at and they didn't do anything to me and didn't do anything to deserve it, either. But some people ccan be so understanding somtimes when you beg for forgiveness and just let you know thay it's okat, andthere their for youand their your firend and they care about you. What could make a person feel better then that.? You kust have to be so thank ful and greatful for the people sent into your like somtimes.

By the way, Puppetman sounsd like a superhero of some sort. Can you fill me in on how he is again as I don't remember?

I imagine they decided on the title Puppetman for the show as a way to describe the main character, Gary. How first and foremost, he's a puppeteer, a puppetman, and he's proud of it. It's pretty much all there in the summary.

I know just what you mean. I've done that many times before, too. I often just want to be left alone if I'm feeling really bad (and even though I said before that it's natural to vent, I really rarely ever vent to people. Maybe I should take my own advice sometimes! :wink:). And it is hard to be really great and sociable to others when you're feeling so down, so it does seem like you're taking it out on them sometimes. Which isn't fair, but I think that happens to everyone at some point. And so I do think others understand when it happens, too. :smile:

I know that feeling about not feeling like being sociable. But, you know somtimes when you do it anyway and? or tell people how you feeling, somtime it helps you to take your mind off of what is bothering you or can hepl you feel better about things and let's you know that "Hay, Things really aren't that bad at all." Somtimes people understand that and let you have your space, too which is really nice, too.

Thank you haralde! I get it and I think it's a cool idea!

Glad you guys liked the Puppetman summary. :smile:

Being sociable takes practice, the more you try, the better you get at it.

Oooh, Richard must have had lots of fun playing Del. The chance to be shamelessly snarky and get away with it...and Del, like Richard himself, is excellent with kids but has no patience for people with overblown egos.

Too bad the show didn't make it to air. Or, it could have been adapted into a film or something.

Yeah, Jim clearly wanted the Del character to be modeled off of Richard. He does a really good job, you want to watch him every moment he's on the screen (and I'm not saying that just because I'm already a RHLC member, heh) It's interesting to wonder what would have happened if the show had actually become popular.

I believe I read somewhere that the pilot aired on TV once, along with several other unsold pilots. Puppetman was given nearly the highest marks by the audience. Sheesh, you ever get the feeling the TV people just aren't listening to us? lol

Btw, the little kid who played Zack...so adorable! lol
