Time for an impromptu caption contest. It was an exciting weekend at Pam’s houseā¦
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!

“I blame those Tiki heads! They ganged up on me and I was so frightened I fell from my ladder!”

“Tiki, tiki on the wall who’s the fairest of them all? Wrong answer!” **KABOOM**
Hope you’ll be back retro-ing in a jiffy!
Kate H says
I have heard that one must expect to suffer for beauty, but oh, I wish you could have suffered a little less!
Robin says
“Doc, I know it’ll take longer to source, but I really do want the horse-hair plaster cast with the tapa cloth wrap.”
Bobbie says
Oh, I love this caption by Robin — and so sorry to hear of this mishap. I echo everyone’s sentiments that we hope you’re back up and retro renovating in no time!

I vote for Shann Elble ! After reading that I can’t think of anything else. š
My son broke his arm almost exactly 1 year ago. Not fun but modern medicine is truly amazing. Good luck Pam!!! Thinking of you…

“then, I said to the man, ‘I don’t see anything wrong in buying knockoffs of classic MCM furniture!’ That’s when the mob put down their Nartinis and broke my fingers, one by one!”

Some people will do *anything* to get out of the Ice Bucket Challenge!
Heal up quickly Pam! Praying for healing from the Retro Gods!
Kristy says
Precautionary Pam says, “Always heed the warning in your head when it says: you really shouldn’t be doing this, you are going to get hurt!”
Happens to me all the time! Sometimes I heed my own warnings, sometimes not so much.
Hope you mend quickly!
