I was trying to send a comment to 1Funny.Com earlier "yesterday" (as it is 4 AM PST) the following morning . and was addressing an issue that I was having BIG problems with . in JUST THEIR SITE .. The problem I was having was, I thought at the time, simple - but NOW . I'm more lost and more confused than ever before . feeling like I'm in a forest, that has fences all around the circumference . and no way in or out . and I need help . PLEASE? I'M NOT A GEEK; I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS; JUST A 'LONELY HOUSEWIFE' HAVING PROBLEMS, ALONG WITH 4 SPINAL SURGERIES, PREVENTING ME FROM WORKING FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS ., AND THEN TODAY, I GOT THE "FINAL STRAW" ON THIS COMPUTER SITE . I ENTERED MY EMAIL TO THEM AT 1.FUNNY.COM . I PUSHED "SUBMIT" . MY SUBJECT MATTER BEING THAT EVERTHING THAT CAME UP ON THEIR SITE HAD A 'RED "X"' INSTEAD OF A PICTURE . ALTHO THE TEXT COMES THROUGH FINE .. AND WONDERING 'WHY" OR "WHAT I COULD DO" . EXPLAINING I WAS NO LONGER A SUBSCRIBER TO THEIR SITE BECAUSE OF ALL MY BACK SURGERIES, BUT HAVING BEEN A SUBSCRIBER FOR 2 YEARS PRIOR, AND NEVER HAVING PROBLEMS . AND WAS MY PROBLEM THE SIMPLE FACT I WAS NOT A SUBSCRIBER" . I PUSHED SUBMIT . AND THEN CAME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING PAGE: * Sorry, but I cannot figure out who sent you here.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SITE WAS THE 'BOX' WITH W3C; XHTML 1.0 . AND I CHECKED IT, COMING UP WITH 'YOUR SITE" . AND GETTING MORE FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED! This is WHY I'm writing the "friendly people of validator ." by pressing on the link for an e-mail going directly to "someone at your organization . to HELP me . In searching your site, every word (except the common words for "normal people") confused me even more, and I'm serious - TEARS ARE RUNNING DOWN MY CHECKS . AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO . WHERE TO GO, OR HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS .. NOT EVEN 'YOUR SITE" . AS I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS . CAN YOU HELP ME - PLEASE? I have Windows XP, SP1 . I have never installed SP2 as I keep reading about ALL the problems connected with SP2 . so I'm afraid of it . it's a "generic computer" - but a new "C" "Seagate" Hard Drive, 520 MG of memory (or whatever) . and that's about ALL I know . I have installed JAVA and for other "picture" and story/cartoon sites, I have no problems . but suddenly with 1 Funny.Com . I have nothing BUT problems . as I receive text, no pictures, just "red X's" . and nothing else . When running a page referring to HTTP .. I came up with the validation code for 1Funny.Com . instructing me to put it as a bookmark, and I don't even know what or where bookmarks are .. And it SOUNDS as though YOUR site THINKS I AM 1FUNNY.COM . and I'm NOT . I'm the "receiver", "sender", "subscriber" (although not subscribed) . I'm just "me" . in an email address . a person .. not a corporation . Please help me . PLEASE! THANK YOU . Jacquie Romero - jandtromero@fea.net PLEASE HELP ME!
