Yeah, you would think there would be some kind of restrictor on temp. Obviously it needs to get up to 75-80c to properly sanitize things like dishes and in a sensitive area that can definitely cause some irritation. But this had to have been closer to 85-90c. Great for black tea, bad for your rectum.

So there are non electric models that plumb into the hot water line and the toilet line separately. There is a little knob on the side that controls the hot to cold ratio. In case anyone is curious the model I have is the brondell swash ecoseat non electric. Despite the recent issue I would still wholeheartedly recommend this an an entry level bidet option.

Hugs to you!

Accidents do happen, and I am so glad no one was hurt. What ever happens with your license, it happens.

So you've learned, and can really internalize it, that if things spill and you want to set them right, pull over as soon as you safely can.

I love the Vicks discs that melt in the shower. I couldn't find them one time and decided to coat a 3x3 shower in Vicks vapor rub. It worked great until it melted and caused me to slip. I couldn't get up and had to slide out naked on the floor like Danny Devito covered in hand sanitizer. I do not recommend lol

Apply for SNAP anyway. The requirements are purposefully hard to understand because that creates a barrier that discourages people from applying, which saves money. If you get denied, whatever, but if you don't apply you won't even see what you are eligible for. And there are several ways to meet the work requirements beyond just working a regular job. Having an active SNAP case, even if your allotment is $0 a month, will give you an active case number which can be used for income verification for other programs like free phone service.

For disability, count in getting denied the first time. Generally that's standard practice, and you may need more than one appeal, but if your wife is unable to work she will eventually get approval as long as she keeps her doctor's appointments and gets everything documented. Don't mess around and smile or say something like "fine" if one of those doctors asks how you're doing--they will write it down and it will go in your file which will look like the doctor thinks you are without pain. There is also Vocational Rehabilitation which helps people with disabilities get jobs and accommodations so they can do their job comfortably. Good luck.

Well, lesson learned. Never, ever, take your eyes off the road to do something like you did.

A friend did a similar thing in her new car, just after getting her license - went right through an iron fence.

Anyway -lesson learned, right?

Listen you need to stop your “work from home job” cause it’s not working at all. You can literally choose to work the normal job you had before and atleast make enough to be decent yet your choosing your start up? And then you don’t even seem to talk to your wife about budgets either. You did fuck up but not just today. When you let your mental health ruin your life.

In the future, if you're in the parking lot, apply the brakes before adjusting anything too much. If you're on a road, pull over. This is not the end of the world, OP. As others have said, you'll likely keep your license, and you're unscathed, so relax. Eat your McDonald's. I mean for God's sake you crashed into a pole to get it home, may as well eat it! (Tried to be humorous with the last line, not sure if it worked)
