What should I make for supper?
Q: Well my friend is staying the night and I made macaroni and grapes and grilled cheese for lunch but I don’t know what to make for supper! Please help I want it to be easy to make! Nothing like lunch’s meal and I'll go buy groceries if I need something also I want it to be nutrious and healthy and good and tasting good! Something for 2 girls 11 and 12! A meal for 2
A: Easy Chicken and Dumplings
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk
Melt butter in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic for 5 minutes, then stir in chicken and saute until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in broth, vegetables, sage and thyme; mix all together and let simmer over medium heat while preparing the dumplings.
In a medium bowl, mix flour and parsley together. Add shortening and stir mixture into coarse, mealy dough. Stir in buttermilk, a little bit at a time, until dough holds together and is soft but firm. (If needed, add up to 2 tablespoons more buttermilk).
Bring chicken mixture to a boil over medium high heat and drop round spoonfuls of dumpling mixture on top (do not let dumplings touch each other). Reduce heat to low, cover pot and let simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.

Venezuela Chavez says "Comrade" Obama more left-wing
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.
During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.
During a decade in government, Chavez has nationalized most of Venezuela's key economic sectors, including multibillion dollar oil projects, often via joint ventures with the private sector that give the state a 60 percent controlling stake.
Obama has vowed to quickly sell off General Motors once the auto giant is back on its feet, but the government will initially control the company after a $30 billion injection of taxpayer funds.
Chavez, a vehement critic of the U.S. "empire," has toned down his rhetoric since Obama took office in January and the two men shook hands during a summit in Trinidad and Tobago in April.

What's the best Life insurance out there?
Q: I’m looking for something that cost less yet the company sure to stay in market for at least 30 years.
I have hypertension; I’m looking for a company that doesn’t have high premium when you have that problem.
A: Your best bet is to go in to speak to a local insurance rep, and conduct a needs analysis. You may even want to go through this evaluation process with a couple of different insurers, as it will help to provide you with a picture of what your total insurance need really is.
Following that, take a look at the options available for you. Some people will recommend going with term, others will recommend going with whole life, I personally like to see a combination of the two as it will usually ensure the best coverage at the best price.
Term insurance falls off completely, leaving you unprotected after a set period of time. This means to you that if you buy a 30 year policy and die 31 years from that time, your family gets nothing. This is the cheapest way to go, but it is also the most risky.
Whole life insurance costs more, but promises to pay your family no matter when you die as long as you pay the premiums.
As an example, I found that my personal need today was about $450,000. I knew that after my house was paid off and my kids were through college, this need would be much less and only include paying down any remaining debt and burial costs. So, I chose to pick up $350,000 in 30-year term insurance and $100,000 in a defined payment duration whole life policy, that allows me to stop paying after I reach 65 years of age, but the policy stays in force until I reach 121 years of age.

Q: How do I send a pic from my phone to myspace?
A: I don't know what kind of phone you have, but I have the Rumor.
What I did is go to the picture in the albums on my phone and
do "Options"
And click "Send"
Then it has three little bars where I can type
Like..:
Name:
Phone:
Email:
Name would be someone in your contacts to send picture mail
Phone would be to send a picture mail to a phone number
Email would be send picture mail to whatever you type in there.
I type in my email in the Email part, leaving Name and Phone blank.
Check your email and then you'll get an email with the picture attached.
Right click the pic and choose "Save Picture As" or whatever
and save it.
