Yes! He did a song with Bran Van 3000 (a Canadian band) yeaaaars ago (end of 90s?). I got hooked on his music for a while.

That's great!  I don't know why  but he used to tour quite a lot.  His concerts were really fun.

At least he didn't say, "You look grim". Lmfao.

Exploring the Scottish language is the highlite of my day.

He calls my period "doodles".

And my personal favourite is how he pronounces porpoise and tortoise. It's better than squirrel and Nicaragua.

No we don't!

I have no clue. It's just what my husband and his family call it. Makes it sound all nice and cuddley.  Awww... got your doodles? How are your doodles? Are your doodles really bad this time? Aww... you just rest. You're on your doodles.

How about no... let's play crime scene investigators instead.

Detective: Mr. H... we hear the Mrs has gone missing? All of this blood residue on the mattress and on the floor leading to the shower leads us to believe she has been a victim of foul play. How can you explain this amount of blood?

IT WAS HER DOODLES!!!

Well, that's a Stuart-ism. But hilarious! I would be very confused if my husband asked me if I had my doodles. He's had to buy lady products for me on a day I couldn't walk, I felt badly!

Definitely comes from his Nana as that is what she called it.

She was a Stewart, born and raised in Stirling.

More confusion! LOL!! Grim is like sad and bleak. Like hopeless. Isn’t it???

My husband uses "grim" to mean unpleasant or even disgusting/gross.  Like "he walked out of the pub and was sick just outside the door... it was grim."  I have never heard the word used to describe health before.

I don't use "sick" anymore unless I specifically mean nausea.  I might say I "feel ill" or "I feel unwell".  I've never once said "poorly", but I know it's the common way to indicate diminished health.  I just can't do it without feeling ridiculous.  Similarly, I can't say tomahto.  But I can say banahnuh, so, baby steps.

Lol same. We use grim to describe something being unpleasant/dark/etc. But not health

I don't care what you call it, never in my life has anybody thought to tell me, "aww... you just rest..." for that!  I feel cheated.  I mean.  I guess every day is "rest" for me, anyway, so I don't know what I'd be resting from.  But, still.  Sometimes I want to be coddled and catered to!  Bring me food in bed!  Keep the Hazelnut Lindor Truffles coming!

My husband does this! It is the nicest thing ever after years of suffering through it alone. He'll bring me my heating pad, meds, drinks, whatever I ask for. He will even buy lady products if I'm running low.

To be fair, I don't really get symptoms, so really it's just the annoyance of it all that bothers me.  But now I'm thinking I should've complained more so people will bring me stuff.  I never knew that was an option.  And now I'm old and won't have long to take advantage of this newfound information.  Poop.

  Poop.

Don't say that!  I bet you are the mysterious HeyJay al fresco pooper
