Jun. 25th, 2012 07:47 amGood morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!
Before we get started, I want to remind everyone that even if you can't offer advice, can't give, or can't give as much as you'd like, you can still help. Feel free to link to Radio Free Monday or to reblog items of special interest to you. Word of mouth is more powerful than ever, and you can be a part of that.
Ways To Give:

Just For Fun:

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can always post items for my attention in comments here (or on any post) or email me at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!). Remember, brevity is the soul of RFM.
