Was about to say that myself. Years ago I was unloading a pallet when some bozo decides he needs the forklift and drops it the pallet on both my feet. Steel toed boots saved all my toes.

Yep, gloves, boots, and given your record, you might think about a helmet, elbow and knee pads, safety glasses and a cup!
Hahahahahaha
got the cup! for my coffee....
The 3 month year old son of my 1st (and closest to me, from them all) cousin needs to go to the skull surgery. After my father told me that, I've cried like a baby. The doctors have reassured the boy's parents that everything should work all right, though.
In the last decade, way too many of people I know (or knew) have endured tough times. From illness of their child, people in mid 30s dying from brain stroke, cancer, three (3) of my best friends loosing their mothers that barely turn 50, the 18 YO cousin death in car accident, so many of people I know cannot have the children on their own, many folks having serious heart issues (my father, my brother in law etc.) ...
The time of our war (1991-95) seem now like a peaceful time for me.

Stay strong, my friend. We all have had times when everything seem to be coming down around us. Grieve for those that you have loved and lost, and live for those that you love and live. You have friends here and we are with you.
Tomo,
Is this because his skull is not growing fast enough for his brain? Because if it is, rest assured that this is a safe, common and routinely done procedure. Believe it or not, my late father was a brain surgeon and when he began doing this procedure way back they would take a small sliver of bone from the middle of the skull to allow for growth, only to have to go back and do it again. Now a days it is my understanding that they remove a considerablebly larger segment of bone so as to not revisit the issue again. In fact my wife's friend's son had this done and everything turned out fine. I hope in some small way, if this is the case, you and your friend can rest a little bit easier.

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, people.
Yes, Jim, seem that is the issue. Glad to hear such a surgery is a routine thing nowadays.
Meatloaf, I was a hard man to ever cry. Was crying once, sometimes in the 90s, when a Bosninan kid (3 YO?) raised his hand, fingers forming a V in a Churchillian way. He was not able to raise another hand, since it was amputated.
But now, once I have kids of my own, even the smaller child-related issues manage to really get me soft.

All best wishes for your cousin's son's operation mate... (Sure puts our everyday petty problems in perspective, dosen't it?)
So I'm not the only one experiencing this?
My thoughts are with you and the little boy, Tomo.
As for me, just found out that an ex-girlfriend has breast cancer.

Went in to my LHS just for a clamping tweezer...... No, we don't have them" either!
It's just embarrassing to go in there. It's just a bl00dy sh!t house. The aisles are about 18" wide. Old crap in stock. I once asked them for Tamiya color match spray paints. They told me they were too difficult to get. So I mail ordered some from Melbourne. Next time I went in, they had the whole line on the bottom shelves of the paint rack!!!!!!
Not that I have to drive a long way to another hobby shop, but the parking is 13 bucks in Sydney down town.
I feel better now. And they wonder why we go online to buy!

It's been my bone of contention for a long time Bill, they never have it and always have to order in just the simplest things, now I just shop on line for everything and I usually it is quicker than from a local order.
