JJ, as soon as I saw the title, the song that came to mind was the Beach Boy's song, and then I looked down and you had it. I don't usually think of songs to go with the titles but you are always right on with each and every Daily Break Title. You are doing an amazing job. Thanks

Thank you for all your hard work on the Daily Break. It is my favorite. I feel like I learn something every day. Today , however I could not complete it as I could not locate a side bar to raise the first set of questions up so I could go to the next part. I have tried everything. I guess I am the only one having issues. I am now going to give up. I have been trying since after midnight. am I going to lose my Oodles because of it?
