Mulkey’s Restaurant, Rock Island, IL

If you're old like me and have a restaurant you grew up with you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when I tell you about Mulkey's. I almost forgot to mention their rolls! Oh my GOSH get the rolls! And see those carrots almost not in the photo? Get those too! To start, the photos you see here are exactly the way Mulkey's has looked for the 50+ years I have visited. A few years ago my aunt and I had lunch at Mulkey's, the first time I'd been there in over 40 years. It was exactly, and Read more [...]

Liziqi

This chick is amazing. Every time I watch her vids I get the feeling she is about 1000 years old.

Kenu Airframe+ Phone Holder

Why this great iPhone holder doesn’t get 5 stars on Amazon is beyond me. I usually don’t even look at products with less than 4.5 stars but I’m glad I did in this case. I’ve waited 3 years to review the Kenu phone holder just to make sure it works properly and I can honestly say it deserves a 5 Heart Rating. I use it all the time for GPS and to listen to music and books on Audible. It stays in place and does exactly what it was designed to do. Find it on Amazon. Read more [...]
