That happened to L.D. in Degrassi High. Then Lucy started to make video tapes for her to cheer her up in hospital. One of them had a rap in it. It was hilarious. But I degrass, what were you saying about your son?

Degrassi 

a great Canadian show for teens that deals with all kinds of issues, such as pregnancy, rape, homosexuality, self mutillation, parental abuse, abusive relationships, death, cancer, growing up, and relationships. Some people dont give it a chance because it seems "corny," but its actually a good show.

"Hey, did you see the episode where Marco told spinner he was gay?!"

Degrassi Junior High 

A follow up of the show "The Kids of Degrassi Street". Degrassi Junior High is an 80's Canadian show filmed in Toronto; about teens dealing with issues of drugs, sex/pregnancy, family abuse, dating, shop lifting, and other coming of age issues. The episodes are usually dramatic and hilarious at the same time. This also spawned another great show “Degrassi High” and a TV movie “Degrassi: Schools Out” and a less creative show “Degrassi: Next Generation”. This show had some funny lines such as You broomhead!
One of the maddest shows ever!!!

Degrassi 

A show based on daily lifestyles and teen issues. Usually has a lesson after each episode. It's a very addicting show once you watch a few episodes. I think the fans of Degrassi are so into it because they can relate to one of the characters on the show. Everyone on the show has their differnt personalities anyway and that's what I love about it!
Oh my god!! Did you see that Degrassi commercial!? Ellie and Sean are gonna go out!! OMG!! ^_^

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
