thanks Perna

I did some more digging and tried and tried to "see" what Lynn was saying.... I decided to click on "Your Profile"(on the left) even though to me it wasn't like the rest of the "options" that one can click on-- it was in bolder print(I thought that meant it was just a title and NOT a link) so I clicked on it and IT WORKED!!!! it then took me to "statistics" just like Lynn said.

phew...... the anxiety is slowly deflating..... phew........

thanks you two for your help and support!
