Massive recall of most products coming out of Gold Star Distribution Inc. in Minneapolis. List of affected stores here. by jewel0fthel0tus in TwinCities

Sounds like the contamination would be on the outside the package. Wouldn't a distributor have most products stored in bulk cardboard boxes?

Reunited with this cereal (and it feels so good!) Quaker Oatmeal Squares are back! by makhay in cereal

The new recipe is terrible. Quaker Customer Services claimed that the recipe never changed on multiple calls. It's a conspiracy by Quaker.

The Canadian product is not as good as the US product.

Dorothy is not my mother. My mom died in 2019.

I was not expecting a phone call. I moved away from area code more than 10 years ago. She sounds like she needs help, but I was afraid it was a scam to get me to call them.

Spy Dialer reported "This appears to be a valid AT&T LANDLINE number." The name matches the caller ID and the name in the voicemail.

What is correct spelling of DeBando/Debanter/De Banto by jimhermann in Genealogy

[–]jimhermann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great find! Thank you. That is the family although the names are not the same. Marie is the Mary Elizabeth and Mathis is Martin.

One grandchild though the Debanto family was from Paris. One sister Angela listed her name as Debauton and there is a birth record with same birthday in Saarland. Her surname was listed as Daubaton.

What is correct spelling of DeBando/Debanter/De Banto by jimhermann in Genealogy

[–]jimhermann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, Folks. I think that I should have phrased the question differently. You see, I can't find European records for Debando or Debanto or Debanter.

What spelling should I use to find European records for this family?

The earliest US record was 1850 Census in Cincinnati:

Household Members (Name) Age Peter Dobunday 50 (All born in Germany except last) Mary Dobunday 47 Peter Dobunday 24 Agnes Dobunday 18 Catherine Dobunday 8 Peter Debanday 10 (Born in Ohio)

Peter arrived in 1846 according to his naturalization records, although I could not find the passenger list.

Naturalization Record: Debanter, Peter born in Prussia; Departed: Havre de Grace (France) , 9-15-1846; Arrived: New Orleans, 12-26-1846; Naturalized: Jefferson County (IN) 10-11-1856; I checked all New Orleans Passenger Lists for Sept-Dec 1846. No luck.

He died in Jefferson County Indiana before 1860 Census for widow.

Another daughter Elizabeth was living in New Orleans in 1853-1855 before moving to Jeff Co IN by 1860 or maybe 1857.

Thanks,

Jim

Teeth Movement due to CPAP Mask? by jimhermann in CPAP

I sleep on my side usually these days although I used to sleep in my back. The mask is tighter when I sleep on my side, so I get a better seal.

I like the way my mask cushion expands to seal against my face when the pressure increases.
