Q: Because diabetes puts you at high risk for slow healing sores, it's important that you get your callus checked by a doctor. Even with home treatment, your callus can become an open sore that gets infected. This can make it hard to recover. Make sure you call or visit your doctor before trying to treat your callus. Your doctor may recommend medical treatments to help you heal faster, or they might just monitor your progress while you do home treatments. Calluses are typically not serious, but they may lead to an infection if your skin breaks open. Typically, you won't experience any pain from a callus. However, it may start to feel painful or swollen if you develop an infection or you have broken or injured skin. If you notice any pain or inflammation, see your doctor to make sure everything is okay. Your doctor can offer you medical treatments to speed up your recovery. If your callus gets infected, it can quickly become a serious issue. Don't hesitate to see your doctor. You can usually get rid of a callus on your own. However, sometimes they can be stubborn, especially if they're very thick. Fortunately, your doctor can offer you additional treatments that may work for you. Talk to your doctor to find out if this is an option for you. Tell your doctor how long you've had the callus and what you've done to try to remove it. Your doctor may want to do an X-ray to make sure you don't have a foot abnormality that's making the callus get worse. In addition to home treatments, your doctor can do a medical procedure. This may include removing the top layer of the callus or using medication to dissolve the callus.
A: Talk to your doctor before treating your callus if you have diabetes. Consult your doctor if your callus becomes painful or inflamed. Visit your doctor if your callus doesn't go away with home care. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor if the callus persists.

Q: Teachers like to relax and have fun on the weekends just like you. Sometimes it might seem like they only exist to make your life miserable, but remember that they probably became a teacher because they like working with young people and love helping them learn. Show interest in your teacher's life. You can ask them how their weekend was, or what they have planned for summer vacation. Don't talk behind a teacher's back. They will probably find out after a while. Gossiping about the teacher will get you in bigger trouble. Imagine if you came into work and everyone around you had a bad attitude. That's what it can feel like for a teacher with a room full of grumpy students. Acting friendly and being happy to see your teacher will brighten their day and help them feel appreciated by you. A teacher can tell when a student is genuinely being friendly or just sucking up. Don't go too far and start acting fake. Just a simple "Good morning!" or "Good evening!" is all it takes to brighten a teacher's day. You and your teacher might disagree about the grade you deserve in a class. However, your teacher has probably given your grade a lot of consideration. If you contest the grade your teacher gave you, they'll think you care more about your grades than about the learning process. They also may feel that you're disrespecting their authority. If you're concerned that your grades are not what you wanted them to be, talk to your teacher about how you can get better grades next time. Teaching can be difficult, and teachers get tired, just like you. If you notice that your teacher could use a hand, offer to help out. They'll definitely notice and appreciate your helpful attitude. You can help your teacher by erasing the board, passing out papers, or bringing something to the office for them. If you arrive to class early, you can always ask if there's anything you can do to help them prepare for class. If your teacher has not been treating you fairly, it's okay to approach them about it. Ask them if you can speak with them during lunch or after school. Even if right now it seems that your teacher hates you, being able to have a mature conversation with them will likely turn the tide. Your teacher will see that you're invested in the relationship and in the class. Act calm and respectful when you speak to your teacher. You can say, "I'm not sure if you've noticed this, but I feel that I'm not being treated fairly in class." It's great to be able to give specific examples so your teacher can see what you're talking about. You can say, "When Maria made a joke and the class laughed, you laughed too. But when I made a joke and everyone laughed you sent me to the office. I don't feel like that's fair."
A: Remember that your teacher has a life outside of school, too. Smile and act friendly. Accept the grades you're given. Be helpful to your teacher. Talk to your teacher if you feel unfairly treated.

Q: Set it to 180C (350F). Let cool to room temperature before you continue. Alternatively, skip the baking and chill the crust in the fridge for at least one hour. This makes a slightly looser crust.
A: Preheat the oven. Bake for 1012 minutes.

Q: They need to be your size or bigger than you. If you don't have the perfect pair, take a trip to the thrift shop! Jeans, khakis, chinos, slacks -- all types will work. If the pants are too big, you'll need to rip up the side seam, cut out the unnecessary fabric, and sew it back together to match your waistline. Make sure it lies flat; you don't want any material bunching or bubbling -- it should naturally lie flush to the table. If your cut isn't perfectly straight, that's fine! As long as it's a clean line, it doesn't matter what angle it's at. In fact, a steeper angle can give your skirt a more refined, less patched-together look. If you want to use the legs for the rest of your skirt (right now it's too short), don't throw them away just yet! You probably want another six inches (in width) or so of fabric, if not more. If you have some scraps lying around from an old project, use those! Or you can use the pant leg of the ones you just tore up. Does the thigh or the calf give you the width you'd like? Cut 1/2" (1.25 cm) wide than you need for a seam allowance. Make sure the fabric is long enough to wrap around the entirety of the skirt. If you're using your old jeans, you may need to rip out the seam that meets the skirt -- otherwise that's a lot of thread going on in one place. And because of the cut of the jean, make sure the fabric lines up (width-wise) front and back. Using your 1/2" seam allowance, pin your fabric to the edge of the skirt, leaving the extra on the inside, rendering it invisible. Flip the skirt inside out and begin either hand stitching or blazing through with a sewing machine. If your fabric requires it, create a seam on the bottom edge, too. Just don't make it too short! If your fabric is giving you any guff, iron it flat. It'll be much easier to work with then. Your skirt's done! But if you want to make it more "you," add a ruffle, some fabric paint, or a bit of material along the sides. And then there's always dye, glitter, iron-ons, ink transfers, and screen printing!
A:
Grab a pair of pants you no longer wear. Cut off your pant legs at the crotch. Cut a strip of another fabric to fill out the length of the skirt. Pin the fabric to the edge of the skirt and sew. Add any final, stylized flairs.
