Horoscope: Thursday, September 10

Thursday, September 10 It’s not all about romance. It’s finding exactly the thing that captivates you, aiming well and enjoying the unbridled joy that comes with actually having your heart’s desire. Aries (March 21-April 19) Maybe identity is a group of ideas you pull together about yourself. And maybe changing just a few in the constellation is enough to flip the whole image. You’ll challenge what you think of yourself and suddenly see someone new in the mirror. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You keep returning to something you suspect is a waste of time. But there must be ...

Older male wants to try taking supplement to build up strength

Dear Dr. Roach: I’m an 88-year-old male. I’ve been losing strength and muscle in my legs, which has caused me to need a walker. I’m currently in a physical therapy program twice a week, and I also do daily strengthening exercises at home. I’d like your advice on trying a diet supplement of whey protein, hydroxymethylbutyrate, chromium and leucine. It’s widely advertised on the internet with countless testimonials regarding its amazing success in restoring strength and endurance for elderly users. — R.C.O.

Not ready to let go of family house

Dear Annie: My husband and I are both in our 70s, and he’s been pushing for us to sell the house and move into something smaller for over a year now. He’s not wrong; it’s more house than we need. But we raised our three kids in this house. Every room has something in it — the kitchen table my dad built, the height marks on the door frame, the driveway where our children learned to ride their bikes. I know we probably can’t stay here forever. But I feel like he’s asking me to hand over all these memories without a second thought. Am I being stubborn, or is he being cold ...

Sept. 11 seems like yesterday

Smoke still rose from the ruins of the World Trade Center, and the smell of nearly 2,000 deaths lingered miles uptown. A reporter asked New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani whether he worried that the city’s Muslim neighborhoods would be attacked in revenge for that Islamist-inspired atrocity. Giuliani responded that he would make sure that didn’t happen, that he was sending more police to those areas to protect their residents. Those were Giuliani’s better years, when he moved to calm his hurting city. They are a study in contrast with how Mayor Zohran Mamdani has allowed, even ...

How to waste $9T not saving earth

The world has spent $9 trillion to combat climate change since 2020. That is a World War II-type number. Except we won WWII. But now even the left admits that this torrent of money has accomplished ... nothing. According to ESG Today, citing a 2026 United Nations report, the “multinational goal to limit global temperature increase to 1.5 C, identified as the threshold to avoid the most significant impacts of climate change, is now out of reach.” The “best-case scenario (is) now at 1.8 C.” In other words, we’re doomed. Well, not necessarily: According to the UN, Climate ...

Settlement a good start to protect kids

Limiting kids’ access to its addictive social media products Facebook and Instagram, Meta cut a worthwhile deal in a lawsuit with 47 states, D.C. and several U.S. territories. No more will children be glued to screens thanks to some needed reforms, and Meta will write out at least $12 billion in checks to be doled out over 10 years, including up to some $1.1 billion for New York. As a financial penalty, it may seem pretty big, but it is a pittance compared to 10 years’ worth of Meta’s revenue. Even the $200 billion California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey were expected to ...
