World's Smallest Stud Finder
From the website:
- Mini Stud Finder
How many "Oops, I missed the stud" holes are in your walls?
Use this instead — just slide it over your wall and when the orange plunger vanishes, you've found the stud.
Magnetically detects nails in wooden studs.
Perfect for mistake-free hanging of shelves and picture frames.
1-7/16" x 1-7/16" x 1-1/2"H.
Well — how many?
Me?
Well, to tell you the truth I lost count when it got into triple figures....
Anesthesiologists, anaesthetists and all others who, like me, perform epidurals will appreciate the remarkable convergence of the mini stud finder with the venerable hanging drop technique for identifying the epidural space.

when i was MIS-diagnosed for having meningitis, my neurologist was going to perfomr the spinal tap right there in my hospital bed. no big deal, i'm skinny and it should be easy...
there i am on my side and she's stuck the neddle in about five times in failed attempts of trying to tap my CFS fluid. seems there was no pressure - which relates back to my misdiagnosis: i had a tear in the inner spinal wall that was leaking CFS.
lord knows how many additional oles she put in the thorasic section of my spine, but then i was sent down to the radiology department to get it done by those gentlemen with their x-ray(sonogram?) as a guide.
thing is, the lab screwed up the results so i had to go and do it AGAIN. so we're looking at possibly seven unecessary holes put in my spine besides the tear that put me in the hospital to begin with.
and when everything got figured out by another docotr's evaluation? another needle in my spine in the form of a blood patch.
there has to be a better way

Liz, same punny thoughts as you.

I glanced at the headline and thought you were talking about some device for women at a crowded, ill-lit singles bar, and at then the picture of the vibrating exerciser thingy and thought you were on to some explorations of the odder nooks of contemporary gender relations.

All I know is, when I had to have an epidural for some surgery a couple of years ago, I was sitting on a table being still and quiet, as ordered, and a guy comes in and fools around with my back for a while, says damn, brings another guy in who fools around for a while, then HE says damn, then another guy, same thing, and a couple of women, and pretty soon they're just calling people in from the hallway. Then, there's a whole lot of talking, like they're old friends at a picnic or something, and joshing around and joke telling and gossip, and it's getting pretty rowdy back there. So I piped up because I wanted to know what was going on, and the jokes were pretty good, and were these people all doctors or were they calling in janitors and secretaries to come and fool around back there, or what, anyway? And they just kept telling me to shut up and be still, which was very unnerving and you know what? I don't think they were doing anything at all. I think they were just taking a break. Good grief.
