Welocme to the site Elizabeth 30.
I'm not quite sure if you mean understanding getting around the site, or understanding in a more general sense.

I will leave you with this amusing anecdote i got from Www.vitality101
10 Reasons Not to Take Your Husband Shopping with You :
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.
