It’s Pam’s Pity Party, and you’re invited: Caption contest!

Kate - Updated: November 11, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Pam-broken-armCROPTime 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?

Pam-caption-contestCROPHere’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!

    Pam, I shattered my elbow three years ago and it was the worst pain I’ve had. So sorry you have learned the meaning of “Shatter.” My caption would be:

    You can bet your bippy that was my last Tiki Tango!!

    Wishing you an uneventful recovery and restoration to full strength. Hoping you have all the carers you need, and lots of books, music, flowers, funnies, sunshine, peaceful nights, whatever it takes.
