Time for an impromptu caption contest. It was an exciting weekend at Pam’s house…
A broken arm and wrist — in like five places, the word “shattered” was used.
Ok, possibly too exciting of a weekend for Pam’s taste, but she is in good spirits and has decided that a caption contest will help aid her speedy recovery — laughter is the best medicine, right?
Here’s some material to work with:
- The injury was tiki decorating related. There was NO RUM involved, but Pam now is giving her barkcloth samples the evil eye. Other fun props in this adventure: Three colorful spaghetti globe lights — oh so sparkly underfoot as you fly past them overhead!
- The ER at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington, Mass. was fantastic. They keep their blankies in a blanket warmer. Pam says the doctor was particularly cute, but admits, that could be the Percocet talking.
- Pam is right handed and says, “Good luck surviving this, Kate, as you will have to do EVERYTHING for the blog for the next 6-8 weeks until the cast comes off. In the meantime, I will be taking this time to become a better person, starting with reviewing my own safety advice.””
Full story to come on Wednesday. Until then, let’s come up with some funny captions for this pathetic photo of Pam to help cheer her up. Winner gets a $25 gift card.
Ready, GO!
Steven says
Poor, poor Pam.
Pour Pam a Tiki Tumbler of Rum!
Steven says
Pam is feeling somewhat shattered after turning her hand to some Retro Renovations.
Steven says
Pam didn’t believe it when she was told Retro Renovations can cost and arm and a leg.
Casey says
Ouch!
How’s this for a caption-
“Precautionary Pam reminds you- Beware of vintage nastiness, including the wrath of the Tiki Gods.”
Mary Elizabeth says
OK, Casey, that sounds SO like something she would say.
Pam, I hope even though you can’t write that you are scrolling down through these with your left hand and laughing your head off.
pam kueber says
oh yes, i read them all!
Janie4 says
I’m sorry for the accident.
“Plastering – a lost art. Even casts are drywall these days.”
Mary Elizabeth says
I think Janie has the best one yet! “Dry wall” casts, indeed!
Jan says
“Just give me a ladder, a hammer, a chainsaw and some tiki lights, and I’m on it!”
Take care, Pam – don’t know what you did, but don’t do it again! And so sorry, Kate!
Terry says
“Just like the one I had in 1968!”
Get well from Texas:)
Jon Volimas says
First time here, and golly, you didn’t have to break that just so I could enter a contest on my first visit!
How about ” I wanted a white plaster one!”
Heal quickly Pam…
Mary Elizabeth says
“Rebember, RetroReno Readers, do not use rickety vintage ladders to hang your vintage decorations.”
Pam, so sorry you are injured. I would bring you chicken soup–genuine vintage World War II recipe–if I lived closer.
Jacki says
I’m curious to hear the story on this; that must have been some fall. Get well, stay off ladders, and drink lots and lots of milk for bone health.
