I will give it one last try only because this is just so damn cool. First let me say I meant no insult to anyone, if it was taken that way I apologize. I lied when I said I have been working on this for 6 months, it has actually been 16 months (and I can prove it if you want). As for people like me I mean poor people, I mean those of us who have no talent for anything. I cant sing or play an instrument, I cant write poetry, I cant do wood working, I cant fix a car, hell I don't even own a car. I could go on but I hope you get my point.
Anyway I have been doing what I believe has been suggested, I completely emptied my Arduino libraries folder and have been only put in the libraries asked for in this program (see enclosed screen shot #1). After every item I put in the libraries folder I run "Verify" on the code and when I get an error message about a missing file or directory I install that missing file. I am now getting this error message and I can not get this file downloaded which I figure means I can not move further.

Apparently I cant figure out how to enclose a screen shot so here is a list of all the libraries I have in my Arduino/ Libraries folder,
Folders,
Adafruit_GFX
Adafruit_ILI9341
ESP8266_Weather_Station
ESP8266WiFi
Json_Streaming_Parser
Mini_Grafx
simpleDSTadjust
WiFiManager
XPT2046_Touchscreen
.h files
ArialRounded.h
moonphases.h
settings.h
socket.h
TouchControllerWS.h
weathericons.h
Any suggestions?
