I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

However, languages are also culturally unifying and changing the language could disrupt the culture.
But then, there are those words, such as "terrific" that have evolved to mean another thing. Maybe we are taking the word "terrific" and changing it as slang. Since "bad" means "good" and "sick" or "ill" can also mean "good".
I hate it when people delete their comments instead of owning up to them.... referring to Meli mispoken here, I was blocked, comments not deleted :)
