Your leader may be able to either help change your experience, or provide you with tools and advice to stay on track losing or maintaining weight outside of regular meetings.  If you find that the program is working for you, but not on your schedule or within your budget, you may not need to cancel completely. Talk to your meeting leader about the OnlinePlus plan, or Personal Coaching as they may cost less. If you want to cancel because you are not succeeding with your weight loss, your leader can try to pinpoint the problem. However, if you know that you want to cancel your Weight Watchers membership, stay firm with your meeting leader and calmly tell her you don’t wish for any other options, you just want to cancel. Note that if you are a Monthly Pass or eTools subscriber, you won’t be able to cancel in person through your leader or meeting staff, and will have to cancel your membership online, via email, or postal mail. If the membership fee doesn’t fit within your budget tell your leader you wish to cancel, and be upfront and firm with her that you don’t wish to discuss other plans or options. If you can no longer afford to be a member of Weight Watchers, your leader might suggest payment plans that can fit into your budget, or other program options. But remember, this is your money and your body; you have no obligation to pay for something you no longer wish, or are able to participate in. If you are a member who pays weekly as you attend meetings, and are not enrolled in any online services, all you have to do is let your leader know you are discontinuing your program and stop attending meetings. If you’re a lifetime member who has met your weight goal, you do not pay to attend meetings as long as you maintain your lower weight. However, you still have to attend a monthly weigh-in. During your weigh-in, you can tell your leader that you wish to cancel and that you won’t be attending further weigh-ins. You will login into your account and go to the cancellation page. From there follow the prompts to cancel via postal mail.  Cancelling in this method will require you to print out a form that you will have to fill out and mail it to the address listed on the cancellation page. This method will typically take up to two or more weeks to go into effect, and is not the fastest way to cancel your membership.

Summary: Discuss your desire to cancel with your meeting leader or meeting room staff. State why you are cancelling your membership. Let your leader know you won’t be attending further meetings. Go online to fill out the mail cancellation form.


Patches containing salicylic acid are available which you can put on the callus.  Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your doctor's recommendations for how often to change the patch. These medications must be applied carefully, because if they come in contact with the healthy, live skin around the callus, they may cause chemical burns.  Do not use these methods if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or are prone to numbness. In this case, consult your doctor. By crushing up aspirin tablets, you can make your own topical medicine and apply it.  Grind five aspirin tablets into a powder and add a half teaspoon lemon juice and a half teaspoon water. Mix until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the callus, not to the healthy, live skin surrounding it. Wrap it in plastic wrap and put a warm towel on it for 10 minutes. Afterwards scrub away the paste and any loose dead skin. The doctor will be able to examine it to confirm that it is a callus.  The doctor may prescribe a stronger medication to get rid of the callus. In extreme cases, the doctor may remove it with a scalpel. Calluses generally are not associated with infection, so if yours shows any of these symptoms, it should be examined by a doctor:  Redness Pain Inflammation Discharging blood or pus

Summary: Try over-the-counter medications for removing calluses. Apply aspirin as an alternative source of salicylic acid. See a doctor if these methods do not help. Contact a medical professional if your callus shows signs of being infected.


While it can be fun to practice various carrying techniques with a friend, you should not attempt to perform them on an injured person without professional training. Enroll in a first aid course, nursing course, or a course on emergency or disability services if you want to be able to perform these techniques on someone who's injured or incapacitated. You should have some kind of professional certification before attempting any of these techniques.  Without professional training, it can be hard to assess the depth of someone's injuries. You may be unsure which carry to use if you're unable to tell if it's safe to move someone in a particular position. Carrying someone safely requires a great deal of practice and guidance. You should practice carrying someone with the supervision of a professional, who can correct your form and provide tips. Professional training can help you learn how to conduct yourself safely during an emergency. If someone is injured or disabled, don't jump to performing one of the above techniques. Ask that person how he should be moved first, and check if the person has any special needs or considerations you should keep in mind. An injured or disabled person may also be waiting on professional services, and may not need the help of you and your partner. It's always better to ask first. If a person has life-threatening injuries, call 9-11 immediately. Do not attempt to move the person unless you are advised by a 9-11 dispatcher to do so.

Summary: Get professional training before attempting an actual rescue. Ask how you can help first. Call 9-11 in the event of life-threatening injuries.


Stable paper airplanes fly farther and faster. Paper airplanes typically benefit from adding what’s known as up elevator. Take the back end of the airplane, which on a standard dart-shaped plane is the wing tips, and use your finger to bend them upwards a little. This counterbalances the weight in the nose of your plane. Most planes also benefit from a little weight in the nose. This helps balance the plane so it doesn’t have a tendency to fly straight up. Cover the nose in a layer or two of tape or add a paper clip. Test out out the plane and make adjustments as necessary.  Most airplanes are better off being slightly nose heavy rather than slightly tail heavy. Heavier planes are better at withstanding outdoor flight. Bending the wing tips downwards is only useful for planes that try to fly upwards when launched. Use your fingers to bend them down slightly. Try throwing the plane again. If this isn’t enough to balance it, you can try adding more weight to the nose of the plane. Slightly bend the end of the tail to the left. If your tail has two sides, bend the left side up and the right side down. When the air hits the bends, the plane will change the plane’s direction. If your plane has a single, vertical edge for a tail, bend it to the right. Otherwise, pull the right side up and the left side down. These bends will correct the airflow to cause a more stable flight.
Summary: Bend the back end of nosediving planes upwards. Weigh down the nose on stalling planes. Bend the back ends downwards on stalling planes. Bend right-leaning planes to the left. Bend left-leaning planes to the right.
