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?
Taking my kid out to Arby's for dinner. I really need to go grocery shopping. Anyway...the guy who rung us up works everywhere in this town. First we saw him working at the hospital, then Walmart. Then he was working at a different grocery store and now...he's at Arby's. Boy, he really gets around! He's keeping this town running lol.
@SweetPea321wow, he sounds like a very hard worker! Or maybe he has a twin?
I'm glad you got to enjoy a meal with your kid. My kids would have chosen Chickfila.
We've eaten out a couple times recently, but I'll be going grocery shopping while she's in school tomorrow. She likes to act foolish in Walmart, but so do alot of grown-ups I guess. The last time I went and was standing in customer service there was a guy swearing about it taking too long. Is it just me or does everything take forever? Just be quiet and do the impatient leg switch dance like the rest of us, I thought 🤔
He sounds multitalented! Doctor, Store Manager of a big box retail, Manager of Grocery store and also owns a Arby’s! 😜
I want to go to Shoney’s or Country Kitchen Buffet 😂 Arby’s too, but they are the 3 I know from popular culture reference’s. What’s the big Aussie Chain Outback Steak House of something and you guys love the blooming onions 😂. So I’ll have to try American Australian food just for laughs!
@SweetPea321
Heyyy, i'm in Australia and very very bored XD
Hey Swiftygirl! I’m a fellow Aussie too! Also very very bored down under 😑. I live at Brisbane by the bay, grew up in Melbourne and been living up here for 20years now.
@Insertnamehere82
Nice!! I am on the Gold Coast and I am still a teen. I was born in Sydney tho
Nice one @Swiftygirl13
Gold Coast is beautiful but crazy busy these days so I avoid heading down. Nightmare traffic and having to go through Logan is enough to put me off the drive 😂
Welcome to Sweatpeas thread for lonely people… she is a awesome lady to chat with, I’ve given her honorary an Australian citizenship already. 😂.
@Insertnamehere82
Yayyyyy Thank you for the lovely welcome. it is very busy here yes but I like busy, it keeps my mind of things I rather not think 😊
My pleasure 😊. Yeah I’m the same. I really like having this place to talk with supportive people who are going through similar situations.. this is a pretty lighthearted thread… just a place for lonely people to come together and feel less lonely, it also definitely helps me not think about things that are bothering me, it’s a good positive and supportive place. SweetPeas little life experience stories are always funny and make me smile.
Hi @Swiftygirl13 👋 Welcome to the Where is everybody sequel thread. On a scale of 1 to 10 how bored are you? I'm about a 5 right now. Half bored. Half watching Aladdin right now.
@SweetPea321
Lol thats a fun movie to watch, right now I would be 9, I am very bored XD
@SweetPea321 Disney's Aladdin (the 90s cartoon) is a classic. It makes me miss Robin Williams, RIP. The soundtrack won awards in it's day.
"A whole new world.... don't you dare close your eyes..."
Or maybe you are half-watching the live-action version, which is also good.
@SweetPea321 I think I remember you
Did we meet at Walmart? I seem to always run into someone I know from there.
Jk 😄
I'm sorry to say I don't remember your username or profile pic 😔 but how are you?
I can't get this song out of my head. I keep whistling it around the house.

Who wants to hear my psych ward story? Nobody? Ok, I'll tell it anyway. So earlier this year I took a nice vacation in the psych ward when I was overwhelmed with stress. We couldn't have our phones in there (which I discovered that I'm addicted to my phone) and the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever laid on. I met some interesting characters in there. One lady thought she knew me and I didn't wanna burst her bubble so I just played along with her. She called everybody "pukes" at first and I thought she was a little scary. Apparently I worked at U.S. Bank and we used to ride the bus together because even though I had a car, I wanted to save gas. She went on to say that we traded flip flops (or thongs lol) because the ones I was wearing were my "bad luck shoes" and I kept tripping and falling over 😂 After she said that, I looked down at her feet and thought...does see not notice our difference in shoe size? 🤷♀️ She ended up giving me a self help book because I was crying.
One guy wanted my ice cream bar and I was going to give it to him, but the nurse said we can't do that so he tried to get me to sneak it to him a little later while the nurse was watching! I felt awkward with her watching us so I said no, I can't. Then he flipped out and started swearing loudly. I felt bad that I couldn't give him the ice cream bar.
Then yesterday I saw another lady from my psych ward stay at the gas station. As we crossed paths our eyes met, and we both smiled but didn't say anything. It was like we didn't want to admit that we knew each other lol. Weird huh 😄
Once again it's Friday Jr. and it's getting colder in Minnesnowta. Right now it's 41°F so I guess I'll be wearing my coat while I stand outside waiting for kiddo's bus. Next thing you know, I'll be making that army of snowmen that I always wanted to make.
How are you all doing? Is it hot or cold where you live?
@SweetPea321
Its on the cooler side here, YES make the army of snowmen!!!
My snowman shall protect my yard from LOUD neighbor kids lol
@SweetPea321
Hey I have a question for u SweetPea
I have an answer 🙂 It might not be a good answer, but it'll be some kind of answer.

Voice greeting 🙂👍
Awwww, you have a pretty voice… it’s weird to hear your American accent…. It’s like I logically understood that you would have one but in my head you sounded Aussie I guess 😂.
i need to work out how to do that voice memo thing… You would probably find it weird to hear my Aussie accent.
@Insertnamehere82
