I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'yes and no' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'see me up from time to time?' is the wordplay.
'from time to time?' indicates alternate letters (letters removed on a regular basis).
'see'+'me'+'up'='seemeup'
The alternating letters of 'seemeup' are 'EMU'.
