Is this wonderful program ever shown on another channel other than Nickelodeon?

greatlakesgirl No I don't believe so. It's a Nickelodeon exclusive. I agree that it's a very cute show. The songs are fun and imaginative.

Has one person's attitude ever stopped you from giving any business to a store or company? It crossed my mind today as I was think of buying a new appliance and a friend said you can get that at Sears. "Oh no I haven't set foot in...

greatlakesgirl I think a lot of it is lack of knowledge and the general "myths" or "sterotypes" that follow labeling a disease or handicap. People often assume that cerebral palsy means that the brain was damaged due to a lack of oxygen. While this is true in many cases,...

greatlakesgirl We adopted a male tri-color full size beagle in February of 2005. Even though he's a little bigger than most dogs I've had in my life, and has a whole list of character traits that are new and challenging at times, he has cuddled his way into our hearts. He...

greatlakesgirl I'm sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose a companion, especially after having her for as long as you did.

Just wondering how far you're back in your research of your family tree. One of my lines I have back into the 1500's but I didn't personally do all of that research. How about you?

greatlakesgirl I've seen a couple of episodes including one where they built a homemade cannon. Another episode was where they tested some type of underground drum alert system to warn of invading armies. Both were neat to watch and it's fun to watch Adam and Jamie...

greatlakesgirl I understand your viewpoint. I guess the new debate though is whether the child actually suffers more by medicating too quickly and not letting the body try to fight back on it's own. Some physicians claim that by medicating it extends the illness and then...

greatlakesgirl Wow! I'm so sorry to hear they went through that. It is unusual for a child to develop febrile seizures unless the fever goes pretty high. To have four out of your five children go through this must have been so scary.

greatlakesgirl This is what I generally do at home too. I'm not against using medications to help when they are called for but I just dont' want to resort to them for every little thing either.
