Hard to sleep with those fans and part of the house torn up.
Find a place, sleep anyway, please.

Guest, So sorry that happened, what another flooding! There must have been a furball in there somewhere. That happened to me, but I had to pull up the new carpet myself....many years ago.
They can save your carpets, or you can have hardwood flooring installed to save on allergies.
There were  NO CATS  at all, just  Mr. Fix-it  installing a toilet seat cover with a screw driver....he went to bed.......memories come flooding back!

Uh oh. The cats, or cat spirits are not happy with us talking about them, maybe.

I just had visions of sugarplum candies dancing in my head....but when I went to eat some, there was chocolate instead.

The toilet overflowed after I flushed some cat puke this morning AFTER I left for work. Husband walked into two inches of water in half the house and freaked out cats trapped by rising tide. Guys are still here pulling carpet and fans

Lu I've seen those little dark images out of the corner of my eye. My two cats sometimes stare fixedly at things that I can't see. I've read that children and animals can sometimes see spirits or whatever you want to call them. In fact just last night when I was prowling around my place cause I couldn't sleep my cat kept staring at something behind my head. At first I thought it might be a bug but I couldn't see anything. So who knows.

I really like what you said Golden...Another dimension....
And Freqflyer...I kinda think it could go with cataracts too but I know I'm really overwhelmed right now and I'm so tired, so it could be lack of sleep and never stopping all day, day after day and it's caught up with me OR it could be my "Savvy Sue" I Loved so much and lost whisping by like smoke...I just don't know,but THANK YOU to everyone for their input.

luckylu - I don't discount the possibility of spirits. Mother woke up and saw my father, looking his best, standing by her bed about 3 months after he died. She told him she loved him and after a short while he faded away. She was not given to "seeing" things and this was a couple of decades before she developed vascular dementia. I have seen what you describe. I have also heard things that I thought were a pet walking, only to find the pet happily sleeping in another part of the house. Our plane or dimension is only part of this universe. Our loved ones are on another plane - in another dimension. I think sometimes we get a little contact with them. There are many things we don't understand.

luckylu, I see the same thing. I could swear some cat or critter had quickly went by. I think for myself, it's aging eyes.... black floaters or something to do with cataracts.

Hoping some helpful caregivers can weigh in with the possible animal sightings, or is it a medical eye problem for Luckylu?

It's probably just all the constant commotion around me and maybe my nerves are shot.

Brush your hair back out of your face? That way if it is a spirit you could see it better. (I know, that answer was a stretch, wasn't it?) Lol.

I think what may also happen with these disappearing OPs is that they don't like the advice they get and leave. They don't understand that we're not just going to tell them what they want to hear - as caregivers ourselves, we're going to give them the truth, whether it's pretty or not. On occasion, there's one that blasts us when they don't agree with the advice given, or misinterpret it as being harsh or judgemental - which is usually not the case, but you know how it goes.

Maybe the op posts the question and then just gets busy with their life. Or forgets they even posted the question. Lord knows a caregivers life is busy.

I think some people are just born to be caregiver's and it's in their blood to take care of other people,pets,and babies.It just seems to come naturally.

When I was new to the forum, just finding (navigating) to my question was a problem for me. Now, with all the website glitches, it can take a long time.

When a new poster arrives and immediately opens several questions on the same topic-that seems to me like spam or just another troll.

I always assume the OP got what they were looking for (or not) and moved on. What I can't understand is all the people who continue to post ad nauseam when it is clear the thread has no more relevance, and even more so after the OP has come back and reported their solution.

Micalost, you are not alone. It is very frustrating to spend time answering and or researching problems to be met with a blank page!

sorry, but after being on this forum for a while I need to say that I get SO aggravated at people who post a desperate situation or urgent question- Everyone gives good answers.... and then NOthing! The poster never comes back in to answer even the most basic question like- "what is the problem?" There are hundreds of them, the answers go on and on and the Poster never returns.... sometimes the post turns into a conversation between members chatting about Their problem ...
I wish i knew why they never come back.

Today was a rough day getting my stuff to post. It made a difficult job even more difficult.

I have problems too. Sometimes when I try to give likes or click on the heart now I guess, it won't let me and if I send a private post and try to add a hug to it, it won't let me do that either.

So I'll use this opportunity to say hugs to you all since that seems to be my only option right now. Kind of like Oprah Winfrey but without the cars. A hug for you, and you and you....................etc.

I'm not getting the daily emails either, although I did get the last newsletter. I don't mind since I always check my newsfeed first thing every morning anyway.

There are still some problems with the site I hope they are working on:
some pages still have different sized fonts
there is no list of new articles so unless you are getting the newsletters they are impossible to find
I've noticed some of the links in the articles and guides don't work

On the positive side there has been less spam but it's hard to know if that is just serendipity.

Jinglebits, I am having this issue too. Some of the things I have checked in my email section are not coming to my email, and others are. I have notified AC, they said they refreshed my account, but still no notifications.I have also gone in several times and reset my preferences to no avail. I get to things by saving an old notification in my old saved mail....AC has not responded to my last request for help on this, so I may disappear one day if I can't get notifications...maybe that is their intent. They didn't respond to my first request either...but to the second one which did not work, and didn't respond to the 3rd request for tech help. Where can I get a job where I only need to do a third of the work sent to me?!!
