Where is everybody?: The sequel
Hi Cuppies 👋 It's your old pal, SweetPea here. Bored and lonely as usual. I'm having trouble viewing the "Where is everybody?" thread, so I figured I'd make a new one. I prefer to use the app instead of the website. On the app it stopped showing responses.
So here we are again, ready to turn up on a Monday afternoon (or Tuesday if you live in Australia).
Oh yeah...where is everybody?
True Story: Yesterday I was in the bread aisle of the grocery store when the cutest lil bird landed on a loaf of bread. Ahh, I said as it startled me. Then last night I had a dream that I had a pet bird. It was the most beautiful bright blue parrot. I thought the dream was odd because as much as I like birds, I could never own one. I'd feel guilty for putting it in a cage when they're meant to soar through the skies for miles.
@SweetPea321
Hey, SweetPea. I'm in Norway. I really liked your bird story.
I am sorry to say, I do own a bird. A budgie, to be exact. She has a swing, and a small ladder that she likes to sleep on. She's usually free to fly around the house as she wishes. She's been spending a lot of time with my house mate, in his office, sitting on his computer screen. Or on top of his headphones. Budgies are very social, and I think she finds company in us, even if we are not birds.
One time she even escaped (my mistake). It was like the tropics, that particular summer. She had a lovely escape over at a neighbouring building. Someone helped me locate her, so I could take her home. They don't have a natural instinct to migrate far away, luckily.
I don't know why I'm talking so much about my bird - lol. I chuckled when I pictured you being startled by a cute bird.
Aww, you don't have to say sorry for owning a bird. That was just my opinion. I'm sure you take good care of your little pet. That's good that it gets to fly around the house. And yes...it was scary as the cute lil bird on the bread flapped his wittle wings, just kidding lol.
This morning I went to Hardee's to get a sausage biscuit for breakfast and in the drive-thru there were two cute birds bathing in a water puddle. They didn't move so I blew the horn at them to get them to move. I didn't want them to get hurt. The lady in the vehicle ahead of me gave me a dirty look in her mirror and I felt like a jackass 😅 I was like Nooooo, there were birds in the way!
@SweetPea321
Oh no! It's frustrating when that happens 😂 Can't you see me doing something good here, people!
I feel you.
Birds are surprisingly great companion. Unless they are hand tamed, they may have some limitations to how they can interact with us, but there is definitely a lot of spirit in there! I find Dwarf parrots so fun to watch 😄
Please feel free to look up "parrot mom loves to feed her babies" on Youtube, for a laugh 😂
I found it!

That was awwdorable, thanks 🙂
Hi from America! I loved your bird story I love birds aswell
Bird is the word, yes! 🐦
🤗
Lmao! Lady on the toilet, the bird is the word.
I love Family Guy!
😂😂🤗🤗
Me too, It’s one of my favourite scenes of the series I think, I like South Park, Archer, Rick and Morty also. I like good adult cartoons. Definitely prefer stuff that makes me laugh rather than drama and horror.
Although it's not on anymore, I liked The Boondocks for adult cartoons. For movies I like comedy and dramas better than horror. Actually I like older scary movies. These new horror films are too terrifying 😱
@SweetPea321 Thanks for sharing this with us.
I very much enjoyed reading this.
Thanks for writing this.
No problem @calmMango9611 Just a little thread to BS and have fun 🥳
Yay! I thought you blocked me from the thread 😂.
Welcome back! 🤗 Blocked you from the thread? That's crazy talk! I wouldn't even block a troll if I could 😄 *pets trolls* C'mere little fellas 👹👺
It's Tuesday here in the US. I live in Minnesota or as I like to call it...Minnesnowta. For some reason everybody here hates the snow, but I like winter. There's a quiet peace that opposes summer's LOUD kids playing outside, LOUD barbecues and LOUD fireworks.
True Story: So I had a CT scan the past Sunday and my daughter laughed at the machine because she said it looked like a giant donut. I've been craving donuts ever since. I finally got some today. Just had one for afternoon snack. It was delightful.
Ok, so it's a boring story, but it IS true 😄👍
Hahahah. Children are funny. Donuts are gooood! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Definitely see the resemblance between the CT machine. Like a white glazed donut! I hope everything is good with your health 🙏🙏🙏
I've been on meds for 4 days so I'm feeling much better now, thank you 🙂
Same here. What a relief.
Sam I Am 👋 Would you, could you read this thread? Would you, could you eat some bread?
Hope all is ok SweetPea. Glad you got donuts. 😊
I’m trying to find some beginning to this. Lol.

I just thought about it and when Sweetpea was in the CT machine it became a Sweetpea Donut 🍩 mmmm sounds good… I’ll have one with a Pumpkin Spice Late please. 😋 ☕️ 🍩
My daughter expects donuts all the time now. I've opened pandora's box with the donuts 🍩
It's Friday Jr. (Thursday). The weekend is almost upon us. Where is everybody?
Hey Sweetpea 😊. I’m here 😊 just having a quiet night down under in my thongs… trying not to think about stuff that’s upsetting me which I cannot control or do anything about currently, and is just making me anxious… so trying to distract myself from myself unsuccessful so thought I would see what was going on with my 7cup peeps.
@SweetPea321 haha, I haven't heard that before. Friday junior! Sometimes my kids call it Friday-eve. Today I have a day off work, because I reallllly needed a mental health break. I have some stressful things going on at home. I'm just trying to hold it together, and it has been difficult for me to sleep/relax.
Friday eve is cute too. Then you can say Merry Friday to each other on actual Friday. I'd take a mental health day if I could, but I work at home and the boss (my kid) doesn't allow me to take days off 😄
Sorry to hear that you're stressed. Can you try some guided meditation (lots of gm videos on YouTube) or listen to some calm music to relax? That helps me.
Hi everyone,
I’m new here & enjoyed reading about your birds. I love all animals & am quite fond of birds myself. Just wanted to introduce myself. Hope you are having a great day!
@aquaBeing5032Hello Aqua, I'm new on this chat too (and just recently ditched the "newbie" badge on 7cups). I'm glad you're enjoying your time here so far. Welcome!
Hey Aquabeing,
Welcome to 7cups! SweetPea always has great little stories like this that make you feel better about humanity and smile while reading them. 😊
Hello @aquaBeing5032
Welcome to 7cups where we drink 7cups of tea and pee pee pee! I don't have any pets currently, but my daughter and I like to enjoy animals in nature. When we're in the car, we count the bunnies, squirrels and other animals we see. Sometimes we count cement trucks too. We always see alot of cement trucks for some reason.
@SweetPea321
Hello, I am here:)
I’m from Germany and I just remembered that I always wanted to complain myself about how german people are shown in hollywood movies. German people are either N@z1s, so stupid that they just can’t speek English nor German (for real though… if you watch a movie with a „german“ person in it and they SPEAK? For a german person it sounds like sjdghdjehddzdjjgwieuejen. I am not joking. And the ACCENT! Don’t get me started. NO ONE I’ve ever met has that kind of accent!) or we just have an ugly landscape (we have so beautiful places and cities and stuff. It’s so pretty here! Just show the old cities man! It’s not that hard!)
Here you have my rant about how Germany is presented in movies… you can do whatever you like with it:)
(And most of us are really nice people… I mean every country has little a-holes, right?)
I think you're right about Germans in Hollywood movies. It's either nazis or idiots. My Dad speaks German as his second language and my grandmother Eleanor (May she rest in peace) spoke it as her first, but they were both born in the US. Our ancestors on my Dad's side were from Germany.
"Every country has little a-holes, right?"
The US doesn't have any *tries to keep straight face* 😄
This movie scene comes to mind regarding a-holes where I live-

Lol. I've never seen this Team America. Does that make me a traitor?
I’m pretty sure it puts you on the NSA potential traitor watch list… I think you need to watch it asap and just message me saying you have watched it now and you should be okay 👌🏻 😂
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I almost started off by saying my name lol... I want to say how nice this is, it's not easy finding someone that'll listen let alone people who listen and help
Hi @orangeGrapefruit5182
Welcome to the Where is everybody sequel thread and 7cups. This is a great place to be heard and we support each other here.
I like being anonymous. It makes it easier for me to talk about my problems. Then when I go out in public people can't point and say, "There goes [insert name here], the fool!"
Hahahaha. Where do I go???…. Ohhhhh I get you now! Hahahaha
I did think about you when I typed that 😄
@SweetPea321 im here, thanks for the post.
@ambitioushope1234 You made it to the sequel! Welcome 🙂
Merry Friday! We wish you a merry Friday and a happy weekend 🎵
Are you looking forward to the weekend? I'm not lol. I prefer weekdays because I'm too busy to dwell on things.
Happy Caturday, cuppies 🐈 Does anybody have a cat? I like cats, but I don't have any pets at this time. Maybe some day when I'm elder and lonely.
So I've been playing a strange little game called The Stanley Parable. Has anyone heard of it? Do you guys prefer Playstation or Xbox? I'm a loyal Playstation gamer 😎
@SweetPea321 We don't have any cats right now either, although kid#2 dreams of growing up and being "a crazy cat lady", lol. Instead, we have a bunny.
My neighbor is a cat lady 😱 She has 6 cats and her home smells like she rarely changes the litter box. It's so strong of cat pee, I'm surprised she isn't sick. The last time she called me over (because she's diabetic and afraid she was going to pass out) she mentioned to me about a neighbor boy peeing in her flower bed and the size of his privates. I thought to myself, "Why go on about a little boy's privates." I haven't visited her since. Her home stinks and she creeped me out.
I had a bunny when I was young. Her name was Molly and I used to take her outside for hops instead of walks. Harness and leash like a doggie.
Wow, that’s really disturbing 😳. I don’t blame you.. also cat waste can be deadly to humans so she really needs to do something about that… Sounds like she has some mental health issues she is dealing with. But I definitely would be uncomfortable with her mentioning the unmentionable like that… something is wrong with her.
aww you would have been so cute walking your bunny around 😊
My other neighbors like to yell alot and sometimes their pot and cigarette smoke waft into my home. I thought potheads were supposed to be chill. No...I have to live by the angry potheads! 😬😄 I live in a townhouse by the way, so we have to share a wall.
Well, now, that’s unpleasant. Let’s hope I don’t get to that point describing the neighbor’s privates and such.
Yeah it’s a strange game! I can’t remember when I played it but definitely remember it. Waking up to everything being deserted and trying to work on what happened and trying to get out of a office of some sort… or was it a deserted police station or something. I have a vague memory of it being weird but might be mixing a few similarly weird games together.
Ok, I have the bucket 🪣 Now what do I do? I'm stuck. Jk lol. You probably don't remember.
Hahahaha. I’m actually going to see if I can find the game again. I think I might have played it on steam. We can play through together 😊
How fun! I got the Stanley Parable Deluxe Edition.
I have 4 cats!!! They are all rescues. Sorry I’m jumping in here. I can not figure out what thread is going on currently
and where it is. Maybe I am an old cat lady?
That's ok. Jump in the line!
