What to do when neighbors get loud

Dear Annie: I recently moved into a new townhome, and for the most part, I love it here. It’s quiet, cozy and exactly what I wanted for this next chapter of my life. That is, until my new neighbors moved in upstairs. It’s a couple with a dog. The dog is an angel –– never barks, never causes a problem. The issue is the husband. From morning until late at night, it sounds like he’s walking around in boots made of concrete. Heavy, constant thumping across my ceiling, sometimes so loud it startles me out of a nap or drowns out my TV. For a while it even sounded like he was ...

Learning hospital etiquette for visitors

Dear Heloise: I work as a nurse in the ICU in a major metropolitan hospital. As many people know, hospitals have relaxed their rules about the length of a visitor’s visit, have done away with age limits for children to visit, and have implemented many other restrictions.

Please keep them with you at all times for their safety. • Please do not smoke in the patient’s room. This includes vapes. It happens ...

Discussing sinus node dysfunction and symptoms

DEAR DR. ROACH: At age 76, I was diagnosed with sinus node dysfunction last year after several episodes of what I’d call being “spaced out” (for lack of a better term). I couldn’t explain these instances to myself, much less anyone else lest they think I was crazy, until I had one where I passed out. This scared me, and I told my husband, who immediately made a doctor’s appointment. The wise physician assistant sent me to a cardiologist who had me wear a heart monitor for two weeks. During this time, I had another episode that lasted for seven seconds, according to the very ...

Today in History

Today is Monday, Nov. 3, the 307th day of 2025. There are 58 days left in the year. Daylight saving time ends today. Today in history: On Nov. 3, 1979, five Communist Workers Party members were killed in a clash with heavily armed Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis during an anti-Klan protest in Greensboro, North Carolina, in what became known as the Greensboro massacre. State and federal trials subsequently acquitted six defendants of murder and rioting charges. Also on this date: In 1908, Republican William Howard Taft was elected president, outpolling Democrat William Jennings ...

Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your actions are an extension of where you’re at in a given time. Your victories, your mistakes — these are parts of your story, but don’t confuse them for the totality of you. None of this completely defines you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You keep hearing the same advice, but it never actually moves you or changes anything. The advice is off, not you. Seek a new angle or challenge the usual narrative. Shake up the way you think, the words you use, or the stories you tell yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You spend your days being responsible, so of ...
