An Early AM Question

Do you think the male nurse House spoke to in episode 6-8 (the Thanksgiving ep) was gay? Why or why not?

I know some people on my f-list thought the male nurse House spoke to in episode 6-8 (the Thanksgiving ep) was gay. If you thought this, what specifically made you think it?

You can screen your comment if you like.

Something Else About Me

Here are some principles I personally try to apply when having conversations with others.

- Grant legitimacy to others and assume the best about them.
- Assume others are trying to do the right thing.
- Assume that others may see things that you miss.
- Assume that you may see things that others miss.
- Assume that conflicting views are an important source of learning.
- Understand and be able to articulate the difference between what you observe and how you interpret it.
- Identify alternative interpretations.
- Seek to understand the differences between individuals.

If you see me failing to live up to any of these principles, (a) I'm sorry, and (b) please let me know.

Stated another way, over 10% of House episodes have had a former RSL co-star in it. O_O

Anyone know any more? We might've missed out on some who were on the stage with him.

PS. If there are any other guest stars in future episodes, DON'T MENTION them. No spoilers please.
