I know the chorus has the word Boy, it’s drawn out and melodic, I know it’s a female singer and I was reminded of it when I heard a magic wand song, I e been trying to go through their catalog but haven’t heard the song so it may not be them.

Top loading water dispenser is having some kind of issue where it’s not letting water/air in correctly. When you pour water out it starts out normal but after a few seconds it stops pouring water until you stop and you can see air escaping into the bottle, then you can pour again after the water goes into the tank. I believe it’s something called airlock, but I tried pumping all the spouts, hot and cold, and I tried checking the airlines and filter.

My sister is looking to file for sole custody for my 16yo nephew. His dad is in jail with some pretty serious charges, and she efiled today actually. She was asking me for help, so I am looking online for guidance before calling some family law attorneys, I’m hoping the more info I can gather before going, the less time I will need for the consult,she doesn’t make much money, I’m willing to help financially, but want to try and keep the cost down best I can. I am wondering is it a pretty bad idea to try and follow the online filing system on her own, or will that get us in front of a judge to please her case due to the nature of the charges and the wishes of the child, my nephew doesn’t want to be with his dad anymore, the latest divorce or custody is 50/50, but the past month or so since he has had some legal issues and then going to jail my nephew has been at his moms.

I want to help her the best I can but feel pretty overwhelmed by the legal system.

Location: California, USA

So this is a pretty complicated one, looking for general advice on where to start and a rough idea of what it will cost.

My sister wants to get sole custody of my nephew (16yo) his father is being investigated for a crime right now, and has a court date in June. My nephew has stopped talking to him, and for the time being his dad hasn't made a huge deal about it, but it's only a matter of time. Obviously my sister needs to go to court and get some attorney, but she doesn't have much money. I am wondering a couple of things:

1. I know in California a child over 14 can request to live with one parent over the other, it looks like it is Family code 3042? I am wondering the process for this? and would it be best to wait to see the outcome of the court case?

2. what would the process be for requesting sole custody and a rough idea of how much it would cost? I am willing to pay for it to help, but have zero idea what something like that would cost, so even a rough estimate would help. I know the court fees is up to $450

Semi related, but I found out about this when I contacted my sister to ask if I can get a travel consent letter for 2 trips I am going on with my nephew later in the year, England, France, Italy, and Mexico (2 separate trips). I know his dad won't sign a letter, so I am wondering if I can still take him with her consent or if I need the consent letter at his age. He has a passport, and we went to Mexico last year, never looked at my consent letters, but his dad signed it that time, but I know he won't when he is mad at my sister, he shuts down completely and won't communicate.

This is a complicated one. My nephew's dad has stopped communicating with his mom (my sister) and my nephew isn't talking to him either. My nephew is 16yo. His father is being charged with a crime, and the court date is in June, our trip is in September. I was planning to get consent letters from both parents, but getting one from his dad sounds like it will be a major thing. SO I am wondering what options I have, is one parent enough? We are flying to England, France, Italy, and then we are driving to Mexico in October.

I got a ticket for Vatican Museums for 5:30pm because at the time, it was the only time available for the day I wanted to go, now 8am is available. I am taking my nephew, we will just be going through for the highlights, Sistine, Rapheal rooms, maybe something else that catches his eye. We also want to do St. Peter's Basilica.

Should I accept the L on the original ticket and buy 8am tickets, or just keep the 5:30pm ticket, I have seen some reviews that say later int he day isn't too bad either. If we arrived early to do the St. Peter's stuff, then the Vatican museums, should be be ok time wise? Like how early should I arrive to do St. Peter's then do the Vatican at 5:30pm. Or would you suggest getting the 8am tickets? Its a 40 euro loss, but this is a once and a lifetime visit for me and my nephew, I want to be able to maximize our time there.

Tavel dates just in case they are required, September 15-20, 2026

My friend will be in London 2 weeks after I am there. I wanted to leave a Geocache but have never left one before. Any tips or spots in London that anyone can suggest or give me? Thanks

I am looking to find out a couple things about cooking with olive oil, and the reddit search wasn't so great.

1. Does the quality (single source vs others) matter if I am using the olive oil to cook in terms of the health benefits? (sautéing spinach and browning ground turkey breast is how I use it)

2. Do you lose any of the nutritional value when cooking with it like this? (just heating the pan and adding the EVOO in and then the food. I am not 100% sure what heat I am at (I need to get one of those temp guns) I know it smokes sometimes, but other times not, I have found info to suggest too high of a heat does cause the nutritional values to decrease.

I have tried various brands of EVOO and to be honest I don't notice much difference in the end product, so I have been buying the EVOO from costco, the Organic, but keep reading how much better single source is, and am wondering if it would be better to go with the single source one at costco (Italy) or whatever single source they have at the time (got a California one last time). I use it daily (about 25ml) so I was just curious.
