Itching For Answers

Lexicon for the Pandemic


Maskhole: An individual who wears a mask in a way that makes it completely ineffective—e.g., below the nose, under the chin, on the back of the head.


Face naked: The state of facial exposure that occurs when an individual declines to wear a mask in public. For example, “Pence went all face naked to the Mayo Clinic.”


Body mullet: What most people wear on Zoom calls: a nice top and, below the waist, underwear or less. (“Business up top, party down below.”)


The NOVID-19: The nineteen minutes after a too-close interaction with a maskless stranger during which you experience a thickness in your throat and a certainty that you’re dying. This sometimes lasts longer if frantic hand washing, antiseptic gargling, and estate planning are not readily available.


Overdistancing: When the guy in front of you in line has a metric understanding of the six in six feet, allowing twenty feet to open up between him and the next person in line, which then allows others to interpret that next person as the end of the line and to cut in front of you.


Domino distancing: When the person behind you in line stands too close, causing you to crowd the person in front of you, and on and on until everyone dies.


Emotional distancing: Deciding that now really isn’t the time to make big decisions about a relationship or, for that matter, to have a conversation about it.


Covideo: A short video featuring a quarantined individual’s child doing something adorable and/or profane, the public sharing of which falls somewhere between cute and a cry for help.


Stockholm syndrome: The assumption that everyone would be just fine without any government restrictions.


Someday, Noneday, Whoseday?, Whensday?, Blursday, Whyday?, Doesn’t matterday: Days of the week.


Parenting: The ability to figure out why the PlayStation isn’t working with the Wi-Fi.


Body Zoom-morphia: Finding your own image on a group video call so unappealing that you are unable to focus on anything else.


Quorumtine: The minimum number of family members necessary to decide what to watch on TV.


Pan-demic: A potentially dangerous increase in the baking of bread in a quarantined home.


COVID-30: Formerly COVID-15; the amount of weight gained by an average adult during quarantine. Sometimes related to a pandemic.


Helter shelter: That moment in the quarantine day when everything seems dirty and chaotic and you feel like saying, “Fuck it, let’s go outside. I don’t care if we die and a bunch of other people do, too.”


Flattening the curve: Trying to fit into your jeans after three months of sweatpants. (See COVID-30.)


Germophobe: Formerly, crazy people (e.g., Howard Hughes); now everyone except crazy people.


Going viral: No longer used.


The Price Of Success

One of the best things on Netflix. Our adrenaline is still rushing sky high from the excitement and energy of this documentary. If you love music, be prepared to flap your wings.


Am I the only woman who feels that NBC Dateline correspondent Andrea Canning was completely unprofessional when interviewing two detectives on air for several hours? This 47 year old, mother of six (yes, six), is absolutely gorgeous and fit. She has icy blue eyes that is a huge draw on TV. Yes, I am envious but I am also very annoyed that any woman would wear a dress that short revealing parts of her that scream “sex.” Did she keep her legs crossed the entire time? Who was able to concentrate on the murder? She makes Sharon Stone look like a Nun. If we want men to respect us, we can’t entice this way.

The Taste Of Coffee

Eliot told me he had a confession to make. I couldn’t imagine what he was going to say. He said he was guilty because he never realized how many Keurig coffee cups we use each week.


He hates the fact they they don’t get properly recycled in our regular trash. He wants to start washing them all and put them in the recycling bin. We pray whoever picks them up does the right thing. We have been recycling everything else for decades.


What The Heck Is That !?

You are about to see the birth of a new entertainment concept on the Internet. We all need to have more fun while we are spending the majority of our time at home during the pandemic.


This new game show will make you feel like things are back to normal again, because you will be thinking about your experiences when you were free as a bird.


This is all the brainchild of good pal Steve Greenberg. I think his timing is perfect. The Zoom game show features innovation, creativity, forward thinking, and most of all a steady stream of laughs.


It’s just 10-minutes long— it’s called “What The Heck Is That !?”


Concept is simple— a panel tries the guess the identity of a mystery gadget.


It’s sort of— Shark Tank meets What’s My Line?


We’re shopping this digital concept around at the present moment. We will let you know if we score. It will take time but are confident that it will happen.


Steve is the author of the very popular book “Gadget Nation” and he’s seen often showcasing new gadgets on NBC’s Today Show and on TV stations around the country.

Juicy Notes

If you read Mary’s book, this is how you will remember 45.

Just finished Mary’s book on her Uncle Donald. She is brave, honest, terrific writer, and being a psychologist she absolutely nails exactly why Trump is the most dangerous leader for the United States.

The Perfect Way To Get Rid Of Your Frustrations

https://youtu.be/dL-RF-PuiLE

I have to admit that there are several times a month when I feel like punching someone. That someone is usually a person who says he or she will do something, and never does it. I am not talking about Eliot. I can’t accuse him of that. If he says he is going to do something, it’s usually done in a flash.


I’m referring to folks who I work with on projects, personal and business. I usually find myself waiting for someone to get back to me. It’s so frustrating when we are on deadlines, especially during the pandemic.


There is a solution. There is a new type of punching bag that is just being introduced. It supposedly is great for stress, strength, stamina and even for seniors.


Liteboxer is a digital punching bag that features many different workouts. It’s like having a personal trainer in your home. The traditional punching bag just hangs in the air without any incentives. Liteboxer records your activities and you can compete and compare progress with friends.


Liteboxer provides guided workouts with lights, voice/music via an iOS or Android app. It also features sensors that measure force, timing, and accuracy.


Liteboxer is priced at $1,495. Monthly training subscriptions are $29 for all levels.

Why Can’t Companies “Pitch” Their Own Products?


Your Product Deserves The Best Sales Pitch to Journalists And Retailers 


TV personality and Innovation Insider Steve Greenberg and Editorial Consultant Lois Whitman-Hess want to introduce your innovative product to the media influencers the way they know it should be presented. We think the other product venues are formatted the wrong way. They are long, boring and most company presenters do not know how to pitch their own product. They are too close to it.


Leave it to the professionals.


On a new monthly Internet Zoom Show called ”What’s Wow Now,” Steve will be telling thousands of journalists and retailers all over the world why your product is so special. 


Steve, a gadget/tech contributor on NBC’s Today Show, and Lois, the owner of HWH PR, have properly introduced the most innovative products ever for decades. They know, better than most, exactly how to pitch your product so that it is positioned for maximum growth.


Email Lois for details. She will answer all of your questions. loisw@hwhpr.com.  917 822 2591
