Hi-

Feel free to post general gimp requests here (screengrabs are always a good idea) as there are a number of gimp users here. Another option is the gimptalk forums, which, IMOO, is another fairly friendly place on the web (at least the forums there that I look at!)

Don't give up on it, like anything, it takes a bit of work to get used to it.

The tutorial Tilt linked is pretty comprehensive and tries to start at the beginning, but it does make a few leaps. It is also with an older version of Gimp, so the screen captures and commands may look slightly different than the current version of Gimp.

Also look at the "how to draw a straight line" tutorial. This simple things causes endless frustration to people.
