I would like to apologize for mispresenting the episode number during every part of this proving.  Oon the audio I presented this as episode 165, but it is episode 166. I wonder if this has anything to do with the energy of the proving.  Part 4 is a continuation of provers A and B and their journals.  Next week we will continue with B and C and look at D, E and F who have shorter journals.  Enjoy the exact words of the provers as to me they are the gold of any proving – staying true to their words whether they make sense or not keeps a proving useful for future clinical remedy applications. All views presented are based on credible sources, but they are explained through the individual's viewpoint.  Doing your own research while integrating new information is always important when forming your own viewpoint. The information in this podcast is not meant to address individual health needs, it is general in nature and should not be used as medical information for your health unless used in combination with your health practitioner.

In this episode, I talk with Christine Li, the inspiring founder of Mentaya. Christine shares her journey from Google to founding Mentaya, as well as insights about starting private pay practices, leveraging technology in mental health, and the future of AI in our field. Here are 3 key takeaways: Navigating Insurance and Benefits: As we approach the end of the year, insurance benefits reset, and verifications need to be updated. Whether you're a private pay practice or considering it, staying on top of these changes ensures seamless client support and consistent revenue flow. AI and Mental Health: Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly, but the essence of therapy—true human connection—remains irreplaceable. While AI may offer support or access in some areas, the therapeutic relationship and the genuine human connection it offers cannot be fully replicated by machines. Embracing Change and Entrepreneurship: The journey of transitioning from a secure job to founding a startup is both thrilling and challenging. Christine's experience of leaving Google to create Mentaya highlights the importance of taking risks to pursue what you truly care about. It's about making an impact and bringing valuable change to the community. More about Christine: Christine is the founder and CEO of Mentaya – a company that helps private practice therapists collect their full cash rate by taking advantage of out-of-network (OON) benefits. Mentaya instantly calculates clients' benefits and automatically files OON claims to help your clients get reimbursed (70% on average!). Christine is a strong advocate for mental health and left her job as a Google Product Manager to start Mentaya.

Many OON providers don't realize that a number of employer-funded insurance contracts include clauses that provide for higher reimbursements in exchange for guarantees not to balance bill patients, often resulting in millions of dollars of unreimbursed care. This episode is a deep dive into the complex world of third-party administrators (TPAs), downline administrators, self-funded vs. provider-funded insurance plans, and negotiating no balance billing clauses for OON contracts with Ali Beheshti, CEO of Zealie.

As the owner of a cash-based practice, you know the value of having patients that can easily afford to pay out of pocket for top-quality care. Today, I'm excited to share with you a simple promotional strategy that I personally use in my practice to tap into affluent patient networks. These discerning individuals highly value the exclusivity and personalized attention an OON provider can offer, and better still, selling some high-ticket services can help keep a practice profitable during periods of increased economic stress. In this episode, I'll explain the art of asking wealthy buyers for referrals in a way that allows them to feel generous about recommending your services to their friends and family. You'll also hear how to quickly position your practice as the premier choice for influential patients, so you can take your practice to the next level. This “highlight” is from a Q&A call with my Mastermind Gold group—a highly interactive, supportive group where people who have tons of questions and concerns about how to start, grow, or transition to a cash-based private practice get the answers, resources, and confidence they need to build the practice of their dreams. We have a group coaching call every week, and we occasionally use excerpts of those calls for this podcast.

It sometimes seems like insurance companies are out to stick it to therapists with low payments or to their clients with high fees and confusing issues with superbills. Superbills were supposed to be the way for clients to see their therapists of choice and get out-of-network care, but the reality is that it can sometimes be messy and complicated.Thankfully, there are companies out there who are putting in the work to ensure that therapists get paid their FULL rates and clients get reimbursed.In this episode, I talk with Christine Li, founder and CEO of Mentaya, about making out-of-network care actually affordable and doable.If you are a therapist or a client who wants to do out-of-network care without worrying about the issues around insurance coverage and payments, then this episode is for you.Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:Understand what out-of-network benefits are actually available and how they can be used for therapy.Identify ways to improve accessibility for care and connect with clients.Learn how superbills can be used to ensure that therapists are paid and clients can afford therapy.Therapists can utilize out-of-network insurance benefits to help both themselves and their clients.

Outokummusta ponnistava nykyinen kaivosmies on kärkäs suustaan, mutta suuri sydämeltään. Wappulounasvoittajan nykyinen kotipaikka on löytynyt Pyhätunturilta, mutta karavaani on kulkenut myös Helsingin, Tampereen ja Oulun kautta. Touhuttu on niin Loma-Kolin hurjien, Ilvespoikien kuin Digistylesin kanssa. Nykyisin seuran verkkareissa lukee Holy Divers. Simon rakkaus lumilautailua kohtaan on suurta. Kaapeista löytyy varmasti yksi Suomen kattavimmista alan leffakokoelmista. Samoin erilaisia lautoja. Ikuinen ”suomipro” kertoo olevansa erittäin innostunut laskemisesta vieläkin. Eikä vastenmielistä tunnu olevan myöskään aiheesta puhuminen. Ensimmäinen osa nauhoitettiin perjantaitunnelmissa Simon keittiössä muutaman oluen kera. Juttua riitti niin pitkään, että ajankohta saattaa kuulua keskustelijoiden kielenkannoissa ja muutama siilin aivastus siinä sivussa. Juttua jäi myös seuraavaan päivään, joten luvassa on kaksi jaksoa yhden hinnalla! Jälkimmäinen ilmestyy heti tämän perään. ”Mitä mie voin enää saavuttaa lumilautailulla? Oon voittanu Wappulounaan.

Mitä ihmettä ne sateenkaari-ihmiset sitten ovat? Ne ovat seksuaali- ja sukupuolivähemmistöjen edustajia, kuten homoseksuaaleja tai transihmisiä. Mulla on ilo ja kunnia tänään keskustella aiheesta kahden eri ihmisen kanssa. Minun nimeni on Päivi ja haastattelen tänään sekä Tuukkaa että Annaa. Tervetuloa mukaan! Nyt mulla on linjalla Tuukka. Hyvä huomenta, Tuukka, ja mitä sulle kuuluu? Kertoisitko vähän itsestäsi. Tuukka: No, huomenta, tai mikä onkaan vuorokaudenaika silloin, kun tätä kuunnellaan. Kiitos kysymästä, mulle kuuluu ihan hyvää. Tässä ollaan päivää aloittelemassa, ja mitäs mä nyt itestäni kertoisin? Oon vähän alta kolmekymppinen tämmöinen monialahiihtäjä, niin kuin joskus oon itseni määritelly, eli ammatiltani oon ohjelmistosuunnittelija eli suomeksi sanottuna koodari. Teen kaikenlaisia erinäköisiä tietokonejärjestelmiä ja palveluita ja sen sellaisia. Ja sitten toisena ammattina niin olen sitten muusikko. Soitan koskettimia erilaisissa yhtyeissä tällein ilta- ja viikonlopputöinä. Näkövamma-asioista sen verran, että oon syntymäsokea, joka on tietenkin sitten vaikuttanut erinäisiin asioihin. Ja sateenkaarijutuista, kun niiden tiimoilta tässä nyt keskustellaan, niin sitä identiteettiä tässä nyt on etsiskelty varmaan tuolta jostakin myöhäisteinivuosista lähtien, kun rupesi selkiytymään, että en ole niin kuin seksuaalisessa mielessä ollenkaan sitä, mitä ihmiset mun ympärillä on, ja tässä kohtaa… tässä kohtaa nyt sitten ollaan. Päivi: Miten sä, Tuukka, koet, että toi näkövamma vaikuttaa siihen, miten sä puhut omasta seksuaalisuudestas? Tuukka: Eihän se näennäisesti pitäis vaikuttaa yhtään mitenkään, koska ne on kumminkin kaks aivan eri asiaa. Et eihän, vaikka mun näkövammasuus ja mun homouteni, eihän ne liity mitenkään toisiinsa eikä ne sulje toisiaan pois tai vaikuta muutenkaan. Mutta kyllähän se niin on, olen käytännössä sen huomannut, että usein on helpompaa edustaa itseään siten, että on vaan niin sanotusti yhtä vähemmistöä kerrallaan.

Saarna Hyvän toivon kappeli1. paastonajan sunnuntai (Invocavit)Jeesus, kiusausten voittaja6.3.2022Anu RaskMatt. 4:1–11Evankeliumista Matteuksen mukaan, luvusta 4Sitten Henki vei Jeesuksen autiomaahan Paholaisen kiusattavaksi. Kun Jeesus olipaastonnut neljäkymmentä päivää ja neljäkymmentä yötä, hänen vihdoin tuli nälkä.Silloin kiusaaja tuli hänen luokseen ja sanoi hänelle: ”Jos kerran olet Jumalan Poika,niin käske näiden kivien muuttua leiviksi.” Mutta Jeesus vastasi: ”On kirjoitettu: 'Eiihminen elä ainoastaan leivästä, vaan jokaisesta sanasta, joka lähtee Jumalansuusta.'”Sitten Paholainen vei Jeesuksen pyhään kaupunkiin ja asetti hänettemppelimuurin harjalle. Hän sanoi Jeesukselle: ”Jos kerran olet Jumalan Poika, niinheittäydy alas. Onhan kirjoitettu: 'Hän antaa enkeleilleen käskyn. He kantavat sinuakäsillään, ettet loukkaa jalkaasi kiveen.'” Jeesus vastasi hänelle: ”On myös kirjoitettu:'Älä kiusaa Herraa, Jumalaasi.'”Vielä Paholainen vei Jeesuksen hyvin korkealle vuorelle, näytti hänelle maailmankaikki valtakunnat ja niiden loiston ja sanoi: ”Kaiken tämän minä annan sinulle, jospolvistut eteeni ja kumarrat minua.” Silloin Jeesus sanoi hänelle: ”Mene pois,Saatana! On kirjoitettu: 'Herraa, Jumalaasi, sinun tulee kunnioittaa ja ainoastaanhäntä palvella.'”Silloin Paholainen jätti Jeesuksen rauhaan, ja hänen luokseen tuli enkeleitä, jotkapalvelivat häntä.Lauri Kemppainen kirjoittaa Rukoileva kädellinen -kirjansa alussa näin:Yleensä se tapahtuu yöllä ja silloin pelkään. Pelkään, että kaikki mitä rakastan –kaikki minkä vuoksi teen työtä, kaikki minkä koen arvokkaaksi ja oikeaksi – vainkatoaa. Pelkään, että hyvä ei voita. Että pahuuden äärellä kauneus kuristuu lopultaomaan mahdottomuuteensa. – – Sellaisina öinä Vasili Rozanovin sanat eivät tunnulainkaan liioittelulta: “Ei ole elämää ilman rukousta. Ilman rukousta on vainmielettömyyttä ja kauhua”.Täytyy sanoa että tässä odottamattomassa, selittämättömässä maailmantilanteessatuo äskeinen todella kolahti. Onneksi Lauri sanoitti sen mun puolesta, itse en oleoikein pystynyt keskittymään. Oon katsonut uutisia taukoamatta.* * *Pyysin teiltä tätä saarnaa varten kuvia siitä, mitä tulee mieleen sanasta kiusaus.Tässä päivän tekstissä Jeesus on autiomaassa ja Paholainen kiusaa häntäkiusauksilla. Sainkin tosi osuvia kuvia ja pohdintoja.(Kuva 3)Yksi sähköpostiini tullut kuva on ihana tulppaani kesäisessä puutarhassaLähettäjä liitti kuvaan tekstin:Minun kiusaukseni on kaivata kesää pitkin talvea.Talvella on vaikea pysähtyä ajattelemaan, että elämä on tässä ja nyt. Silmäni etsivätlumikasojen alta kurkistelevia pensaita ja puita. Luon niihin luottavaisia katseita, jottanämäkin tietäisivät kesän olevan tulossa.Tämä kuva kuvaa täydellisesti myös omaa kiusaustani juuri nyt.Myös mulla on kiusaus katsella kukkia, odottaa kesää, haaveilla lämmöstä janautinnosta. Sitä Paholainenkin tarjoaa tässä Jeesukselle: saat maailmanvaltakunnat ja niiden loiston, jos kumarrat minua. Nauti elämästä! Nautikauneudesta! Käännä katse pois kaikesta häiritsevästä. Koska miksipä ei?Juuri niin haluaisin itsekin tehdä. Kääntää katseen pois, katsoa kukkia.Mutta on pakko katsoa ympärille. Tavoitan kolme näköalaa:● Me ollaan pandemian keskellä, uusia on odotettavissa.● Eurooppa on sodassa.● Ilmastonmuutos on totta, ja se on tässä ja nyt.Ei auta, pakko pysyä hereillä. Meidän tehtävä on toimia.Auttaa. Rukoilla. Taistella hyvän puolesta ja pahaa vastaan.Ja yrittää vielä vähän enemmän.(Kuva 1)Tässäkin on sähköpostiini teiltä saapunut kuva kiusauksesta:Kuusamon seurakunnan Isoniemen metsä.Lähettäjä pohtii: Kumpi onkaan kiusaukseni, kertoa näkemykseni vai pysyä hiljaa?Kuvaan liitetty teksti kysyy:Kutsutko riveihin istutettua yhden puulajin puustoa metsäksi vai puupelloksi?Miten ajattelet nauttivasi jokamiehen oikeudella tällaista metsästä? ”Keisarihan on alasti."Kenelle maa kuuluu? Jumalalle, kaikille ihmisille vai maapohjan omistajalle?Ja vielä:Missä ovat ne äänet kirkossa, jotka sanovat, että luonnon riistolla eli talouden jatkuvankasvun opilla on todellisuudessa rajat, että kirkko ei voi pyhittää ahneuteen perustuvaatalousjärjestelmää. Kirkon johto sulkee korvansa tutkitulta tiedolta ja niiltä, joiden elämäänluontokato tulee eniten vaikuttamaan, eli nuorilta, joita Elokapinallisetkin edustavat.Todella tärkeitä kysymyksiä.Onko kiusaukseni pysyä hiljaa? Liittyy oikeastaan samaan teemaan ensimmäisenkuvan kanssa. Paholaisen viesti Jeesukselle oli: Kumarra minua ja pysy hiljaakaikesta häiritsevästä, ja elämä on helppoa ja mukavaa.* * *(Kuva 4)Tänään on ensimmäinen paastonajan sunnuntai, kristityt ovat astuneetneljänkymmenen päivän vaellukselle. Päivän tekstissä on vahvaa symboliikkaa jokakietoutuu paastoon ja pääsiäisen odotukseen. Tekstissä ollaan tarinan alussa,kiusauskertomus sijoittuu aivan Jeesuksen julkisen toiminnan alkulehdille.Jeesuksen paasto autiomaassa kiusauksineen kesti neljäkymmentä päivää. Ja tästähetkestä me Jeesuksen seuraajat puolestaan kuljemme pitkin kirkkovuotta n 40päivässä kohti pääsiäisen tapahtumia, ristin tietä ja lopulta pääsiäisen valoon.Tänään mua itseni koskettaa tuossa autiomaakertomuksessa erityisesti Jeesukseninhimillisyys. Jeesus ennen pääsiäistä, ennen kuolemaa ja ylösnousemusta oliihminen, kuten me ihmiset ollaan. Hänellä oli ruumis, joka kärsi nälästä, janosta jakivusta. Hän nauroi ja hän myös itki. Meillä kristityillä on siis Jumala, joka tietää mitäon olla ihminen. Hän tuntee ihmisenä olemisen tuskat ja kärsimykset omakohtaisesti.Miksi kärsimystä ylipäätään on? Miksi Jumala sallii kärsimyksen, kuten useinkysellään? Tää on ikuinen uskonnonfilosofinen kärsimyksen ongelma.Totuus on, että kaikkien selitysyritysten jälkeenkin kysymys jää avoimeksi. Kärsimyson osa elämää, osa olevaa. Luonto elää kärsimyksen ja kauneuden jännitteessä. Joelämän ensi henkäyksessä on kuolema läsnä ja syksyn epätoivoinen hehkutapahtuu nurkan takana odottavaa kuihtumista vasten.Paradoksaalisesti, kaikessa yksinäisyydessä ja kärsimyksessä Jumala on erityisellätavalla läsnä. Jumala taistelee ja kärsii jokaisen ihmisen rinnalla. Jumalan valta onpiiloutunut heikkouteen ja Jumalan kunnia on piiloutunut häpeään. Lutherin mukaan“Jumala on kätkeytynyt vastakohtaansa”. Kärsimys ei ole siis merkki Jumalanpoissaolosta tai heikkoudesta. Kovien olojen keskellä kokemus Jumalan läsnäolostavahvistuu.* * *Ja me ollaan totisesti kovien olojen keskellä, yhä kovenevien.Rukous voi tuntua vaikealta lajilta, varsinkin jos omissa mielikuvissa rukoileminen onjuuri tietynlaista, puhuttua litaniaa tai polvistumista sängyn vierelle, ja jos mielikuvajuuri sellaisesta toiminnasta ei tunnu luontevalta.Mutta rukous voi olla monenlaista. Se on asettumista Jumalan eteen. Avoinnaolemista olemassaolon salaisuudelle. Tapa suuntautua elämään.Ja vaikka vastassa olisi pelkkää pimeyttä, pimeys alkaa puhua.(Kuva 2)Tässä vielä yhden teistä lähettämä kuva. Kuvan viesti on, että elämässä pitääuskaltaa sulkea portteja ja avata uusia, vaikka pelon ja ahdistuksen takia kiusausjättää portti avaamatta olisikin suuri.Rohkeutta me totisesti tarvitaan.Kärsimyksen vastapuolella, kolikon toisena puolena tai vastaparina on kauneus.Uskonnonfilosofisessa mielessä on olemassa myös kauneuden ongelma. Onmysteeri, mistä syntyy kokemus kauneudesta, mistä kumpuaa pakahduttava tarvekiitokseen?(Kuva 3 uudelleen)Takaisin alkuun.Niin kuin muistatte, tää kukkakuva edusti siis myös kiusausta.Minun kiusaukseni on kaivata kesää pitkin talvea.Mutta mikä tärkeintä, se merkitsee myös toivoa.Kesä on joka tapauksessa tulossa. Pimeää talvea seuraa aina kevään valo.Ja mitä ikinä meillä onkin edessä, emme kulje erämaahan yksin.Erämaahan tulee aina mennä Kristuksen kanssa, sillä hän on jo voittanut kiusaajan.

Jakso on poikkeuksellisen henkilökohtainen ja istun poikkeuksellisesti haastateltavan tuoliin. Oli erikoista! Oon ollut suurimman osan elämästäni uskovainen. Oon hihhuloinut rajusti sekä helluntaiseurakunnassa, luterilaisessa seurakunnassa että vapaaseurakunnassa. Tässä jaksossa kerron oman tarinani ja avaan ajatteluani kristillisestä uskosta ja uskovaisista yhteisöistä. Miksi en usko Jumalaan tai mitä ajattelen Jeesuksesta? Mikä muutti ajatteluani? Miksi ihmiset ylipäätään uskovat tai eivät usko? Mitä ajattelen uskovaisista? Mitä uskovaisuus ja seurakunnat ovat antaneet mulle? Onko uskolla ja uskonnolla eroa? Maailmankuvan muuttuminen on monesti raskas prosessi, mutta aika usein myös parasta ikinä. Avaan sitä, mitä mun mielessä tapahtui kun maailmankuva muuttui. Jutellaan myös psykologian ja uskon välisestä suhteesta. Kustuin mun ystävän Otso Laxeniuksen haastattelijaksi. Sai Instagramissa pitkän liudan uskovaisuuteen liityviä kysymyksiä, joita tässä jaksossa käydään Otson johdolla läpi. Tää oli myös vuoden vika jakso. Kiitos kun oot kuunnellut

Today we talk to Kristin Mallon, obstetric nurse,  author, midwife, and medical strategist. Kristin is an expert in business for birth professionals, and particularly in birth professionals who operate out-of-network, and helping them to navigate potential pitfalls in order to run a successful practice. She has been called a visionary in the field of medicine as a business, and she has touched the birth world both by attending births herself, and by helping others to offer the best possible birth care for their clients.   We talk about Midwifery as a field and birth as a business of necessity, as well as how the insurance industry complicates a birth provider's ability to be paid properly. We discuss how the reality of birth providers operating in-network, and how the demands and limitations can make birth more dangerous and less personal. We also talk about how providers are reimbursed by insurance networks for birth, and some of the reasons for the structure, as well as some of the benefits and downfalls of that structure for both the patient and the provider.   We discuss some of the reasons why more birth providers aren't leaving the network structure, and some of the fears holding them back from starting off into an out-of-network practice structure. We also talk about birth costs, and the ways that in-network providers have to calculate billing in order for the insurance to pay for it, and the ways that it can create problems for how providers are paid for prenatal and birth care.   Finally we talk about how billing works out-of-network, and why providers shouldn't be afraid to switch, as well as why patients shouldn't be afraid to go out-of-network. We discuss the transition from in-network to out-of-network, and then from OON to cash pay, and what each model implies.   To Learn More Visit:  www.kristinmallon.com   For Any Questions, Email Us at media@birthcircle.com

Big surprise. But not really.The Interim Final Rule (IFR) for the federal No Surprises Act, released last month, appears to offer bad news for out-of-network providers (OON), which does not come as a surprise to heathcare attorney Thomas Force, who will return to the Monitor Mondays broadcast.Force will explain, citing that the guidance is focused on what the bill defines as good-faith estimates for uninsured and self-pay patients, along with the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process between providers, facililies, and health plans. Force contends that the IFR has left many questions unanswered, and appears to be written for the benefit of health plans and carriers.

Why it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the Headmistress' office..." http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/OpeWin.shtml ************************************************************* [transcript follows] The Saki Quartette Adapted by Julie Hoverson from several stories. I am a huge fan of H.H. Munro, who wrote under the pen name Saki in the early years of the 20th century.  His career ended prematurely when he was killed in The Great War at the age of 46. Saki is mainly remembered today for the amazing story "The Open Window," which I encourage everyone to read before listening to this episode, so I don't spoil it for you.  It's available on Project Gutenberg, you can get a reading on librivox, it's around.  It is considered to be one of the best short stories ever written in English, right up there with The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. While Saki wrote a number of supernatural, suspense, or speculative stories, his forte was relatively cruel humor - but always inflicted on those pompous enough that you didn't feel too badly for them.  And since nobody really got hurt - unless you take it from a modern "mental damage" perspective, you can laugh.  Clovis Sangrail was an ever-recurrent character who sailed through many stories leaving havoc in his wake, but Vera from The Open Window reappeared from time to time as well (later described as a "flapper") - the two of them intersecting in The Almanac. This episode is an homage to Saki, and incorporates elements from four of his short stories - Shock Tactics, The Boar-Pig, The Storyteller, and of course The Open Window - with a bit of wrap story that is entirely my own. Three of the four principal girls were from my old high school's drama department, the fourth was me.  Several of the other voices were drawn from ART (American Radio Theater).  It's not a perfect recording - we can't seem to keep the pronunciation of "aunt" straight between us (including me) - and I hadn't yet learned how to clean tracks perfectly yet, but overall it's fun and quite funny. Episodes like this were one reason I determined form the start that I wasn't going to nail myself into a "horror story" format.  The name "19 Nocturne Boulevard" is suggestive of the dark side, but open-ended enough to go anywhere I wanted to go. And as an aside, it has nothing to do with nocturne alley, is it, from Harry Potter?  Several people have commented on that, but when I created 19 Nocturne Boulevard, it was sometime around 2006, and I hadn't - I may have heard of Harry Potter, but I never actually read the books.  This was entirely on my own.  It's not a pun like Nocturne alley - nocturnally - was. I remember the summer of sitting there and thinking I want a number, and an address that sounds cool - what's a cool street? While sitting around at meetings of American Radio Theater. ******************************************************** SAKI QUARTETTE   Cast: Olivia, host Vera [open window] [15], sly Matilda [boar-pig] [14], mischievous Helen [shock tactics] [10], eager Nora [storyteller] [11], shy, rules-bound Alice [15], older girl, screams a lot [Shock Tactics] Bertie, Helen's older brother Heasant, their mother [Boar-Pig] Stossen Miss Stossen [Storyteller] Bachelor [open window] Nuttel Vera's Aunt Vera's Uncle OLIVIA    Did you have any trouble finding it?  What do you mean, what kind of a place is it?  Why, it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the headmistress's office.

ALICE   That's adults for you. SOUND   FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  MATILDA SITS. MATILDA   Well, well.  Fresh blood? ALICE   They don't look very promising. HELEN    [huff] I'll have you know I've been called on the carpet plenty of times-- MATILDA   [sweetly, cutting her off] --don't care.  Besides, I wasn't referring to that.  [aside, to Alice]  You're right, they're not much good.  I think one of 'em is a waxwork.

VERA   I?  I did nothing.  I will swear it to my grave. MATILDA   It's vulgar to ask for details. HELEN   I talked back to a teacher.  I've been told.  She didn't make any mention of it at the time, but I got a note sending me here. NORA   It's all quiet now, is it ...over? MATILDA   Of course not.  There's always castigation.  HELEN   Isn't that immodest? MATILDA   [sighs impatiently] VERA   It means Miss Twicket will be talking at her for some time.  Then there may be more strokes, depending on whether she is contrite. NORA   Are you contrite? HELEN   [superior] It's vulgar to ask.

VERA   [correcting]  I prefer the term "romancer." MATILDA   We always meet here, so we all have to get ourselves into scrapes from time to time, just so we can link up.

NORA   I would never-- MATILDA   [dry]  I'm shocked.  [to Vera]  Oh, well, we'll have to talk later.  Perhaps Alice will be out soon. HELEN   Since I didn't know to prepare, what if I have a truly lovely story, even though it wasn't me that did the joke? MATILDA   I don't think so.  Sorry. VERA   Well...  We might listen.  It will pass some time, and then we can deliberate. MATILDA   It had better be good. HELEN   I think so - My older brother has a friend-- VERA   Oh, not a friend of a friend tale - those are old enough to have beards. HELEN   --this friend is quite the card. MATILDA   An ace or a joker? HELEN   His name is Clovis Sangrail. [SILENCE FOR A MOMENT] VERA   Oh-ho!  MATILDA   Truly?  You know Clovis?  Perhaps we should make you a member just on the basis of that.  NORA   Who is Clovis Singrill? VERA   [very superior] Sangrail.  He is our own Jove - the very top of the tree when it comes to our sort of japes. MATILDA   Absolutely the lobster's dress shirt.  Though if I do say so myself, a distant cousin of mine, Reginald, is starting to make a good showing. VERA   Go on, then.  You must tell us your Clovis story.  We might decide to be kind, even if it would be nepotism of a sort. MATILDA   Clever by association.  What was your name, again, duckling? HELEN   Helen.  Well, my oldest brother Bertie was chafing terribly, since being nearly 20, he felt mother should stop reading his private correspondence. VERA   Oh, I cured mine of that long ago. HELEN   Yes, but Bertie's simply not assertive - not on his own.  SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK SCENE HELEN   [fading] So one day, a letter arrives... MRS. HEASANT   [off, a wail, then coming on]  Ohhh!  Helen!  Oh, heavens, Helen!  Bertie is in the toils of an adventuress!  [ominously]  Her name is Clotilde! HELEN   Truly, mother?  Where?  In the rose garden? MRS. HEASANT   No!  In the post! HELEN   How did they fit in the post? MRS. HEASANT   Hssh!  Listen to this:  "Bertie, carissimo, I wonder if you will have the nerve to do it.  Don't forget the jewels.  They are a detail, but details interest me.  Yours as ever, Clotilde.  Postscript - Your mother must not know of my existence.  If questioned swear you never heard of me."  HELEN   Clotilde?  I don't know of any-- MRS. HEASANT   Well, your brother certainly does! HELEN   Perhaps he only just-- MRS. HEASANT   Oh, no!  "As Ever" she says!  As ever!  They've been carrying on under my very nose for ...who knows how long. HELEN   [narrating]  When my brother returned home, mother braced him with the incriminating Clotilde, and of course he denied it. MRS. HEASANT   How well you have learned your lesson! HELEN   He really didn't make much of it, and when she insisted he would have no dinner unless he confessed, I saw him take rather a quantity of sandwich materials up to his room with him.  Then, with the next post: NORA   [completely enthralled] Another letter? HELEN   Oh, yes.  SOUND   INSISTENT KNOCKING ON DOOR BERTIE   [muffled, speaking through door]  What is it this time? MRS. HEASANT   Miserable boy!  What have you done to Dagmar? BERTIE    [muffled]  It's Dagmar now, is it?  It will be Geraldine next. MRS. HEASANT   [in absolute hysterics]  That it should come to this, after all my efforts.  It's no use; Clotilde's letter betrays everything.  [reading] "Poor Dagmar.  Now she is done for I almost pity her.  The servants all think it was suicide.  Better not touch the jewels till after the inquest.  Clotilde."  [leaves off with a wail] SOUND   DOOR OPENS BERTIE   I don't suppose this letter betrays who this Clotilde is?  Seriously, mother, if you go on like this I shall have to go fetch a doctor; I've often enough been preached at about nothing, but I've never had an imaginary harem dragged into the discussion. SOUND   DOOR SLAMS HELEN   Mother could have used a doctor, for she was utterly purple about the face from screaming, and had to go and have a lie down - at least until the next post. SOUND   KNOCKING ON DOOR, MUCH SUBDUED MRS. HEASANT   [also much subdued] Bertie?  Bertie, darling? BERTIE   What is it this time?  Have I stolen the Mona Lisa? MRS. HEASANT   No.  You... have another letter.  From ... Mr. Sangrail.  SOUND   DOOR IS FLUNG OPEN BERTIE   [not giving an inch]  Why not go on and tell me what he has to say?  MRS. HEASENT   [clears throat, then reads, much abashed]  "Dear Bertie.  I hope I haven't distracted your brain with the spoof letters.  You told me the other day that ...somebody... at your home [ahem] tampered with your letters, so I thought I would give them something exciting to read. [slowing with embarrassment]  The... shock might do them good..." HELEN   [finishing up]  And then, Bertie threatened to get a nerve specialist in to look at mother, since she was obviously far too highly strung - and she couldn't possibly stand the scandal, she said - and they agreed he wouldn't - but only if she would stop.  Reading his mail, you see. NORA   [concerned]  But, did she? HELEN   [ominous] So far. MATILDA   We'll review your application.  Next? NORA   I?  Oh, I truly don't have anything... VERA   [warning] You'd best think of something.  We can't have outsiders hearing all our secrets. MATILDA   I'll go ahead and tell mine - it's not so exotic as to cause a panic, and it will give this little gosling time to think. VERA   I suppose so.  What do you think, Helen? HELEN   [surprised and thrilled] Me?  Oh!  [trying to sound grown up and important]  Oh.  I think we should give her one more chance.  She had no time to prepare, after all. SOUND   SMACKING AGAIN FROM WITHIN, ALICE WAILS MATILDA   Speaking of preparing - I'd best be quick, as I believe I'm next for the chop.  Very well, I was staying with my aunt in the country, and it was the day of a very important garden party - some princess was attending and everyone wanted to come.  My aunt gloated over the guest list for days.  VERA   What is it with aunts?  It's as if we all have at least one who is utterly impossible. NORA   [something is coming to her] Ah!  Aunts... MATILDA   Mine told me to be on my best behavior, and to imitate my insipid cousin, Claude, which would have been quite horrible.  HELEN   [bold, trying to sound knowing] I think everyone must have a cousin Claude or Eggbert, or ... something [falters] as... as well as an aunt... MATILDA   [sigh, eye roll] So... so, when they got on me for eating too much raspberry trifle at luncheon, they said over and over that Claude would never do a thing like that.  So when Claude went down for his nap - imagine, he's all of 11 and still goes meekly to afternoon naps like an infant. GIRLS    [SNICKER] VERA   He's the type who will end up married to someone quite overbearing. HELEN   Like an aunt? GIRLS    [SNICKER TERRIBLY] MATILDA   While he was napping, I took the opportunity to take a huge dish of raspberry trifle and force feed it to him - well, much of it got on his sailor suit and the bed, but enough went down him that they will never again be able to say he's never eaten too much raspberry trifle. VERA   Oh, that's a good one! NORA   I do have a story! MATILDA   I'm not finished - that is merely the prologue to my tale, explaining why I was sitting in the back paddock, rather than prancing about the garden party with Claude and Auntie. NORA   Oh!  I'm so-- VERA   Shh.  Pray continue, scherezade. HELEN   I thought her name was Matilda? VERA   Oh, hush. MATILDA   [taking a deep breath]  So I was sitting in a medlar tree, being stupefied with boredom, when I saw two ladies, dressed as if for the garden party, sail through the paddock in an attempt at infiltration. HELEN   Weren't they rather obvious? MATILDA   There was really no one there to see, excepting myself.  And they never once looked up as they passed by.  Well, with no ulterior motive in mind, I decided to let aunt's prize boar-pig, Tarquin Superbus, into the paddock behind them.  It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I knew the gate they were aiming for was locked and they would be forced to come back the same way. GIRLS    [GIGGLE] SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK MATILDA   So, when they did... SOUND   OUTDOORS AMBIANCE.  BIRDS.  SLIGHT PIG SNUFFLING IN THE BACKGROUND MRS. STOSSEN   [fading in] I stopped Mrs. Cuvering in the road yesterday and talked very pointedly about the Princess.  If she didn't choose to take the hint and send me an invitation it's not my fault, is it? SOUND   DEEP PIG NOISES MISS STOSSEN   Oh! MRS. STOSSEN   Oomph! [pulling up short, irritated] What?  Oh!  What a villainous-looking animal, it wasn't there when we came in. MISS STOSSEN   It's there now, anyhow.  I mean, what on earth are we to do? I wish we had never come. BOTH STOSSENS   Shoo!  Hish! SOUND   CLOSER, DEEP PIG NOISES MATILDA   [slightly off] If you think you'll drive him away by reciting lists of the kings of Israel and Judah, you're laying yourselves out for disappointment. MRS.

STOSSEN   Then why not talk English?  I want to know if-- MATILDA   Permettez-moi expliquer.  [pair-meh-tay mwa eks-plee-kay - let me explain] [narrating again] And I went into a rather long description of Claude and aunt and the raspberry trifle, ending with -- [slightly off again] ...and as an additional punishment I must speak French all the afternoon.  I've had to tell you all this in English, as there were words like 'forcible feeding' that I didn't know the French for.  Mais maintenant, nous parlons francais.  [may mant-noh, new par-lon frahn-say - and now, we will speak French] MRS.

[Oon bet]  A pig is masculine as long as you call it a pig, but if you lose your temper with it and call it a ferocious beast it becomes one of us at once.  French is a dreadfully unsexing language.

NORA   [gasps - her hiccups are now gone] HELEN   So what happened with your boar-pig?  Did he devour the invaders? MATILDA   Devour them?  Oh no - Tarquin Superbus prefers rotten fruit to interlopers any day.  They bribed me to lead him away.  I don't think they were best pleased about it, once they realized what a sweet disposition he has. NORA   But of course, they were in the wrong, trying to crash a party like that.  So you were merely punishing them. VERA   Right and wrong have less than nothing to do with it.  We're not the courts, or even public opinion.  A joke is a joke, even if it's on a perfectly nice person who doesn't deserve it in the least. MATILDA   Though it is much more fun, and less likely to get one into severe hot water, when the person joked on can't complain without revealing their own shortcomings. NORA   I -- VERA   Speak up gosling.  A sentence is comprised of at least two words. NORA   [whispered] I might ... have a story. MATILDA   Five!  And with a full stop.  Alright, then, pray continue. NORA   We were on a train.  It was some years back, and my aunt was exceedingly boring.  There was a gentleman in the carriage with us, and when he stooped so low as to criticize my aunt's storytelling abilities, she dared him to tell one. MUSIC   FOR FLASHBACK NORA   [sounding very young throughout flashbacks] Yes, please - tell us a story!  [narrating] Anything would have been better than my aunt's stories - you would have thought she was never a child herself. MATILDA   I say, there's an idea - perhaps aunts arrive like motorcars, fully assembled from the factory? VERA   Shh.  Give ear to the duckling. NORA   [pause] Oh, me?  Yes.  Well, the story-- SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK.  TRAIN LOOP BEHIND BACHELOR BACHELOR    Very well.  Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Bertha, who was extraordinarily good.  She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.  She was ...horribly good. VERA   [slightly off] Can one be horribly good?  Truly? MATILDA   [slightly off] Claude.  Definitely. VERA   [agreeing] Mm. BACHELOR   She was so good, that she won several medals for goodness, which she always wore, pinned on to her dress.  They were large metal medals and they clinked against one another as she walked.  No other child in the town where she lived had as many as three medals, so everybody knew that she must be an extra good child. NORA   [young, gleeful] Horribly good. BACHELOR   The Prince got to hear about Bertha, and said that as she was so very good she might walk in his park.  NORA   [young] Were there any sheep in his park? BACHELOR   No.  There were no sheep. NORA   [young] Why weren't there any sheep? BACHELOR   Because the Prince's mother had once had a dream that her son would either be killed by a sheep or else by a clock falling on him. The Prince never kept a sheep in his park or a clock in his palace. VERA   Oh, very good.  MATILDA   Was this fellow passenger by any chance a long, lithe, languid type with a somewhat nasal voice? NORA   No, why? VERA   She was wondering whether you've encountered Clovis as well.  Roll along. NORA   Oh, so, um, he said the park was full of little black, gray, and white pigs, and -- BACHELOR   --Bertha was rather sorry to find that there were no flowers in the park. She had promised her aunts, with tears in her eyes, that she would not pick any of the kind Prince's flowers, and she had meant to keep her promise, so of course it made her feel silly to find that there were no flowers to pick. NORA    [young] Why weren't there any flowers? BACHELOR   Because the pigs had eaten them all. VERA   [to Matilda] You know, I'm becoming quite convinced you're right, though the story hardly sounds vicious enough for Clovis. NORA   Oh, I just haven't gotten to the-- um... VERA   To the "um..."?  Very well. NORA   Bertha was just thinking-- BACHELOR   [falsetto] --'If I were not so extraordinarily good I should not have been allowed to come into this beautiful park,' and her medals clinked against one another to remind her how very good she was.  Just then an enormous wolf came prowling into the park to see if it could catch a fat little pig for its supper.  The first thing that it saw in the park was Bertha; her pinafore was so spotlessly white and clean that it could be seen from a great distance. MATILDA   I have never heard a better argument against cleanliness.  I shall go out and get myself despicably filthy forthwith. HELEN   After your visit inside. MATILDA   [annoyed] THANK you.  I had actually managed to forget that for a bit. NORA   [quickly jumps in]  Bertha saw the wolf and she began to wish that she had never been allowed to come into the park... BACHELOR   ...She ran as hard as she could, and the wolf came after her with huge leaps and bounds.  She managed to reach a shrubbery of myrtle bushes and hid herself.  The wolf came sniffing among the branches, its pale grey eyes glaring with rage.  Bertha was terribly frightened, and thought to herself: [falsetto]  'If I had not been so extraordinarily good I should have been safe in the town at this moment.'  However, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the wolf could not sniff out where Bertha was, so he thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig instead.   VERA   Definitely not Clovis. NORA   [cross, almost yelling]  LET ME FINISH! MATILDA   Hmph!  Well, proceed. NORA   Bertha trembled and the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for good conduct and punctuality.   BACHELOR   The wolf heard the sound of the medals clinking and dashed into the bush, dragged Bertha out, and devoured her to the last morsel.  All that was left were her shoes, bits of clothing, and three medals for goodness. HELEN   Were any of the little pigs killed? MATILDA and VERA laugh somewhat scornfully NORA   Funny, that's just what my brother asked.  No.  They all got away.  We all agreed it was the most beautiful story we'd ever heard - well, except for aunt, who seemed to find it highly improper. MATILDA   We shall have to write to Clovis and find out if he's been engaged in the railway storytelling circuit. VERA   [chuckles]  NORA   This was some years ago, when I was quite young. VERA and MATILDA chuckle again.  HELEN joins in, but a bit too loudly. VERA   I fear, my darlings, that I shall still take the palm today, for I had occasion recently for the most stupendous jape of all...  [PAUSE] HELEN   Well? VERA   I am composing myself. NORA   [gasps] MATILDA   Oh, not again. NORA   [hastily reassuring] No, no. VERA   I am ready.  I must be careful and include all the vitally important details, for this was more than a mere trick on an aunt... SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK VERA   [narrating] There was a tedious little man visiting our neighborhood for some sort of rest cure.  [to Nuttel]  Do you know many of the people round here? NUTTEL   Hardly a soul.  My sister stayed nearby some four years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here. VERA   [calculating]  Then you know practically nothing about my aunt? HELEN   More aunts? MATILDA   Aunts are universal.  Now Shh. NUTTEL    Only your aunt and uncle's names and the address. VERA   Uncle.  Oh I see.  [confidential] Aunt's great tragedy happened just three years ago.  That would be since your sister's time. NUTTEL   T-Tragedy? VERA   You may wonder why we keep that French window wide open on an October afternoon. NUTTEL   It is quite warm for the time of the year, but ... tragedy? VERA   [ominous] Out through that window, three years ago to a day, Aunt's husband and brothers went off shooting... and never came back.  In crossing the moor, they were engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog.  Their bodies were never recovered. [voice breaks]  That was the dreadful part of it.  Poor aunt thinks that they will come back some day, with uncle's little brown spaniel, and walk in that window just as they used to do.  [almost a whisper]  Do you know, sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in through that window-- [shudder] NUTTEL   Uh, yes... SOUND   DOOR, SWIFT FOOTSTEPS AUNT   I hope Vera has been amusing you? NUTTEL   [spooked] She has been very... interesting. AUNT   I hope you don't mind the open window.  My husband and brothers will be home directly, and they always come in this way. NUTTEL   Um, yes.  [changing the subject]  Um, yes - [awkward pause] the doctors agree in ordering me complete rest and an absence of mental excitement.  On the subject of diet, they are less in agreement. AUNT   [bored]  Ah?  NUTTEL   Some opine that toast with marmalade is better for digestion, while other lean more towards toast without. AUNT   [yawns] NUTTEL   Still other physicians insist on no toast at all.  On the subject of eggs... AUNT   [brightening]  Aha! Here they are at last!  Just in time for tea! VERA   [narrating] I put on my best look of wide-eyed fear and stared - I always think of cats when I do that. NUTTEL   [confused] What?  [panicked] Ahhh! SOUND   RUNNING FEET, DOOR OPENS, SLAMS CLOSED. NOTE   MILK THIS MOMENT FOR SUSPENSE SOUND   OMINOUSLY SLOW, SQUISHY FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  DOG YIPS MOURNFULLY, then UNCLE   Here we are, my dear.  Who was that who bolted out as we came up? AUNT   A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel.  Could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed off without a word of good-bye or apology when you arrived.  One would think he had seen a ghost. VERA   I expect it was the spaniel.  [the awful truth]  He told me he had a horror of dogs.  He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him.  Enough to make anyone lose their nerve. MATILDA   Oh, bravo - two for the price of one! NORA   How could he be afraid of a Spaniel?  They're so-- HELEN   Silly!  She was romancing! NORA   Oh.  [thinks]  Oh!  MATILDA   And her uncle wasn't dead either. NORA   Well, I - I think I realized that. SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING FROM BEHIND THE DOOR - HORRIBLE AGONY HELEN   What?  NORA   Eek! VERA   [slightly shaken] That sounds dreadful! MATILDA   [very shaken] And I'm next! SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING TAPERS OFF TO A GURGLE MATILDA   Poor Alice! HELEN   Maybe the headmistress will wear herself out before she gets to us -- VERA   [calculating, then dry]  Perhaps, but then, she'll just summon a few prefects to help. HELEN   Really?  But - but what could she be doing? VERA   [knowing] Let's see, shall we? SOUND   SLIGHT CREAKS AS SHE TIPTOES TO DOOR VERA   Shh. [pause] ALICE    [Screams, muffled] SOUND   DOOR SWINGS OPEN ALICE   AAH! [notices door] Ahh? SOUND   SCRAMBLING FEET, THEY ALL COME TO LOOK NORA   Where's the headmistress? MATILDA   Oh, jolly good one, Alice.  You gave me such a turn. SOUND   SLOW SERIES OF HAND CLAPS ALICE    Yes, yes.  No autographs, please.  Screaming does dry out my throat. HELEN   It was just you...? MATILDA   I believe, this time, that Alice takes the laurel.  VERA   Oh, I don't think so. MATILDA   Whyever not? VERA   [grinning like a fiend]  Who do you think sent round the sham detention notices to bring us all here? SOUND   A MOMENT, THEN GENERAL APPLAUSE NORA   [confused] Oh? [getting it] Oh! MUSIC OLIVIA   Now that you know how to find us, don't be a stranger - we have enough of those already...

OOn today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank stresses the importance of Os Guinness' new book, Last Call for Liberty. If you care about American liberties and the future of our nation, Last Call for Liberty is an absolute must-read. Few issues are more fundamental than our most basic liberties… and those liberties are under attack like never before. Political debate has degenerated into degrading and barbaric incivility. American leaders and opinion leaders are at each other's throats intent on tearing each other apart. Many Americans are seething with rage over other Americans and so America is locked in a mortal struggle for what each side believes is the soul of the republic. As Os Guinness puts it, what we are seeing is not politics as usual, but politics in a dangerous radical style led by leaders who should know better. Hank also answers the following questions: Do animals have souls? What does the Bible say about suicide? Isn't suicide a lack of trust in God?
