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

Kate - August 25, 2014, 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!

    “Taking one for the tiki.”
    So sorry to see this news, Pam. Hope the surgery and recovery move along smoothly.

    “Are you sure you couldn’t find a more era-appropriate cast on eBay?”

    I know laughter is the best medicine, but I feel so sorry for Pam who has given us all so much, I can’t think of anything funny to say. Pam feels like my friend or sister as I have been a weekly reader of her blog for a couple of years now. Kate, please share my concern for Pam when the percocet wears off. Speedy recovery Pam. Fondly, Karen from Phila.

    “Dang, I just can’t climb furniture and bounce on landing like I used to…”

    As a retired elementary school teacher, I have climbed many a student desk, or student chair on top of a student desk (yikes) in the interest of classroom décor. Never with such a disastrous results, but scary, nonetheless.

    So sorry to hear of your accident, Pam. Love reading your blog. Get well soon.

    Pam forgot to “renovate safe”!

    Break safety rules today, and you’ll hurt to marrow. But broken bones, schmoken bones…. Pam’s contest proves the ulna has a humerus side to it.
