Happy Halloween from The Caregiver Space
We're finalizing the new website!
We'll be inviting you to join the new site soon. On Monday we'll be inviting our more adventurous members to join as 'beta' users and help us find bugs and get the conversation going. We can't wait to provide you with better tools to connect!
This is your last chance to save your current user profiles, including forum posts, messages and journals. Please save your information by copy/pasting the text into another program. We encourage you to move your exiting journal over to our new LiveJournal group.
Have a happy Halloween!
