Members of the Breakfast Club of Redlands are going over final details for their annual benefit for Family Service Association of Redlands.
The event is Saturday, Nov. 10, in the University of Redlands Orton Center.
This year's theme is "Autumn," and members are packing opportunity baskets with a variety of items, gathering the table décor and preparing to bake some autumn desserts for the event's bake sale.
In addition to opportunity drawings and bake sale, the benefit features a fashion show by Chico's, a salad luncheon and a silent auction.
Doors open at 10:30 a.m., and the luncheon begins at 11:30.
The event has been held yearly since 1946, the year the club was formed.
In the past, the Breakfast Club has helped Family Service Association of Redlands provide Christmas toys for families whose income is low or who are at poverty level.
With many agencies now undertaking that project, Breakfast Club has switched and has established a scholarship fund for the adults it serves. Proceeds will go into that fund.
Tickets are $50 and some are still available. For tickets, call Jane Henry at 909-792-5042.

Tie-dyed pilgrims and white-haired Woodstock festival veterans converged at the generation-defining site to celebrate its 50th anniversary, while Arlo Guthrie came back to sing — what else? — "The Times They Are a-Changin'."
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is hosting a series of events Thursday through Sunday at the bucolic 1969 concert site, 130 kilometres northwest of New York City.
Guthrie, an original Woodstock performer, played an evening set atop the famous hill, but said he also wanted to play at least one song near where the 1969 stage was located. Picking up a guitar, he sang the Bob Dylan classic for a group of reporters gathered on the grass under the wilting afternoon sun.
"It was a great time," Guthrie told reporters, his long white hair flowing from a straw hat. "For me, the Woodstock festival was a celebratory end of an era. It was not the beginning of anything. It was the end of something, and it was an end of a very turbulent time that was also very wonderful."
An estimated 400,000 people showed up for the original festival on upstate New York farmland August 15-18, 1969.
There won't be overcrowding and chaos this time. Visitors need event tickets and travel passes to drive to the site through the weekend. But the site was buzzing by the afternoon, with people stopping by the on-site museum and the monument near the stage area.
"This is like a pilgrimage. Coming back to the holy land," said Glenn Radman, a 67-year-old New Milford, Connecticut, resident stopping by the monument with his friend.
Radman was at the festival 50 years ago, as was 75-year-old Roger Dennis, an Ithaca, New York, resident who was making his first visit since that famous weekend.
"I was here 50 years ago right on this day, and it was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. And I just had to be back here," Dennis said, standing by the monument.
Dennis went to the concert with his brother and turned 26 years old that Sunday. His brother died years ago, which made the visit Thursday a bit melancholy.
"But the memories the energies of this festival were just unbelievable," he said. "And I feel that."
Access to the field is usually open, but Bethel Woods is setting restrictions this weekend to avoid a repeat of the chaos that engulfed the site in 1969.

Guthrie's evening performance drew a crowd heavy on baby boomers, many with psychedelic-print shirts. In contrast to the 1969 show, there were plenty of seats and well-stocked vendors selling food, wine and beer.
Guthrie's show was to precede a screening Thursday night of the Woodstock documentary at an amphitheatre on the site.
Bethel Woods is hosting a long weekend of events featuring separate shows by festival veterans like Carlos Santana and John Fogerty.
Photographers like Henry Diltz are exhibiting their festival shots for the anniversary and other places are hosting musical performances, but this site holds a special place for many music fans.
"Being here reminds me of what it's like to feel differently," said Helen Rothberg, "to live in a community, to feel joy."

ASP Wants to be the Hub of the Support Community
Return to List of Recent ASP News
ASP is deceptively busy right now.
By Al Hahn, Executive Director, Association of Support Professionals
ASP is deceptively busy right now. Of course, with the judges scores coming in for our Top Ten Best Support Websites competition, that is to be expected. Soon, we will tally up the scores and make our announcement of this year's winners. Then we will write an individual report for every site that was entered, order trophies for the Top Ten, and write the final reports and share essays from each winner, details the trends for this year, lists the judges, etc. Then we will schedule two or more webinars with some of the winning companies to share their experience and some tips. Yeah, that is enough to keep us busy. But it does not prepare you for what is coming.
We expect to make two major announcements by the end of August. One has to do with research, and the other has to do with the Top Ten competition itself (beyond what is listed above). Last year, a subcommittee of our Member's Advisory Board charged me to get aggressive making changes in ASP. Their recommendations were far-ranging, significant, And strategic. I took that mandate to heart. Since then, we have established a partnership with TeamSupport for webinars that has added to the quantity and attendance for them. Then Coveo sponsored our newsletter, which enabled us to significantly add content. We have been working on our website and are adding content, improving reliability, and improving performance. We are small in staff, so things necessarily go in fits and starts. You may not notice all the things that we are doing all at once, but by the end of this year it should be obvious that ASP is changing in very significant ways.
Our ambition is to become the hub of the support community. What we mean by that is we want to be the go-to place where you can find any and every resource that you need to provide state-of-the-art support. We know that we cannot do everything for everyone, but we want to be able to direct you to those who can. Certainly, we will continue to provide researched reports, events, training, webinars, articles, blogs, and more. But we will continue to partner with other organizations that also provide needed products and services for support. In fact, we desire to be better at that than any other organization. So, watch this space and our Home page in the coming months for announcements and changes.

About chavism and events in Venezuela
The United States terrorized Latin America with fascist dictators throughout the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Latin American peoples have made a famous "left turn". Today, no government of Latin America, at least openly, does not call itself right. In Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Chile and Guatemala, the so-called right-centrists are in power. "Radical" leftists are Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador, and the semi-left is Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, El Salvador and Peru. Of course, with certain reservations and "stumbles" in individual countries. In the information space this division on the right and left is connected with the adoption or rejection of the so-called neoliberal policy imposed by the United States.
In journalism, Latin American leftism is also considered to be the "strengthening of the socio-economic functions of the state," that is, a certain turn of the bourgeois state towards respecting the class class interests of the bourgeoisie in a more intelligent format than frenzied colonialism. It should be recognized that, due to the specifics of Latin American statehood, the ruling groups in these countries tend to have some maneuvering between the bourgeoisie, including the latifundists, and the masses of the people, that is, some shy form of redistribution of wealth that developed rich imperialist states have long introduced into everyday life for their peoples .
In addition, the central problem of any power in Latin America is dependence on the United States. And the movement towards national independence is associated with the support of the popular masses, and therefore with a tendency towards socialism or with a game in socialism. All world practice has shown that the bourgeoisie by the end of the XIX century turned into the most cowardly social class in history. There is no real national, non-Prudential bourgeoisie and, it seems, will never exist . This is a historical abstraction, which is quite applicable to the well-known anti-feudal struggle, but it is completely unfit for modern conditions. In practice, real entrepreneurs betray their people every time, no matter what oligarchic capital they have. The boldness of the bourgeoisie manifests itself only in the presence of total military and technical superiority. In other cases, they operate in a secretive manner and always go for "partnership relations" to please the European and then the Washington elder brothers.
Consequently, the only way to have a national dignity and a relatively independent physiognomy of the US is to rely on the proletariat. Only the popular masses of Latin American countries really want national independence, and not only from the US as an imperialist, but also from their local white "elite" as direct agents of the CIA.
It is clear that reliance on the masses is manifested in the strengthening of the state, including its social functions. The whole mountains of paper are covered with eulogies and splashing hatred of funerals about the fact that Venezuela and Bolivia nationalized oil and gas and together with Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua launched large-scale social programs to eliminate illiteracy, introduce free medicine, provide pensions and eliminate poverty. But only Venezuela announced the construction of a kind of socialism, the truth is not just socialism, but socialism as much as the 21st century!
Enchantments of this "left turn" in the eyes of the intellectuals of the townsfolk are supplemented by the peaceful, democratic coming to power of these regimes, under a blatant rattling about popular interests and the Latin American revolutionary process. In the eyes of politically uneducated leftists, an alternative to "Bolshevism with its dictatorship" emerges. Every sympathizer of socialism wants to make a revolution in white gloves, composes a beautiful fairy tale about how a brave and courageous leader like Hugo Chavez will come to power and enlighten the bourgeois class, transform capitalism into socialism.
But what does Chavez's experience tell us in reality?
First, in connection with the general cultural development of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, it is increasingly difficult to recruit the masses, and Chavez, for example, held back in 2002, unlike Allende in 1973. The documentary film "The revolution will not be shown on TV" in general should be considered a visual aid for how the revolutionary government should not behave. All this democratic demagogy and moral pomp of self-sacrifice, the government of clerical rats and concessions to military fluctuations is an indicator of extreme political illiteracy and immaturity. The fact that Chavez retained power and was not killed was a happy coincidence, connected with the cowardice of the bourgeoisie and the indecisiveness of the military.
Secondly, Chavez's spontaneous unscientific socialism, infatuation with Trotskyism and contempt for the revolutionary theory affected both the futility of reforming capitalism in favor of the people, and on ways to retain power. Over the past 20 years, 18 referendums have been held in Venezuela. The support of the Chavists for democracy in the conditions of the parallel existence and well-being of the bourgeois class, its parties, the freedom of the bourgeois media is bordered on idiocy. Instead of building communism, Chávez, and now Maduro, spend the whole day in public relations and fighting the floods of lies of oligarchic TV. At the same time they consider themselves to be real heroes because they, with their Indian face, win in controversy and election of fair-haired European women from the Caracas ruble, shamelessly discussing the charms of class inequality. All these carmons do not even hide their connections with the CIA. And our leftists are touched: "Oh, what charisma, what credibility!".
There is nothing more convincing than Bolshevism, than objective scientific truths , and it is not necessary to win the sympathies of the Venezuelan people against the degenerate opposition. Especially, as already mentioned, with the "ethnogenesis" of Chavez or Maduro.
Third, the unscientific ideology of Chavism naturally demonstrated complete political bankruptcy in building "socialism" by redistributing income in favor of the people . If Chavez read not only the Diary of Che Guevara, but opened, for example, Marx and Engels, he would have known Marxist criticism of various distributive utopianism.
It is regrettable to note that despite the theoretical defeat of Marxism by anarchism and socialist utopianism as early as in the 19th and 20th centuries, a number of people's leaders, with perseverance envied by sheep, are trying to build socialism or something like socialism by intervening the state they lead in Distributive relations in the economy. This is not only Chavez, but also Kadaffi, Niyazov and similar "unicums".
The management of capitalism from the top of the bourgeois state in the interests of the proletariat, the attempt to reform capitalism into a kind of socialism, will always fail. Because the problem of capitalism is not so much in the bourgeoisie itself within a particular country, even if not politically isolated to the very end, but in the market that all presidents are so afraid of giving up all self-taught, self-taught people. It is the element of market relations that ultimately accumulates in the hands of the magnates the surplus product of the whole nation, how many it can not be swept out by the state in favor of the broad masses. As soon as oil prices fell, Venezuelan "socialism of the XXI century" went around the world, fell into the ordinary bourgeois economic crisis.
Chavez, instead of building socialism, built hospitals and schools, not realizing that socialism guarantees hospitals and schools, and hospitals and schools do not guarantee anything other than sincere gratitude from the people and several beautiful ethnic songs. Instead of leading the people to communism, the chapists performed his immediate desires, indulging liberal-democratic illusions and anticommunist fears.
Thus, the Chavism is another reading of the experience of Allende, a typical populist president without a distinct scientific program of social restructuring, without a party, without reliance on the working class and with pathological fear of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
However, Maduro in the last few days demonstrates that Chávez's experience of 2002 has been overwhelmed. Acts more resolutely and harshly, arrested oppositionists, suppressed the insurgency, dismissed the prosecutor general. This is good, but it is extremely inadequate, and in the long run to retain power and, moreover, to offer its supporters a sane program of getting out of the crisis. The output is possible exclusively by Bolshevik methods.
In this regard, we propose the following theses for the Bolivarian revolution.
1. The power of the people's forces must be based on the working class , on the mass organizations of the working class, whether they are public authorities, or trade unions, or any other large organizations. Head of the masses in the field should be the strongest and most reliable chavista.
2. The power of the people's forces must be a form of dictatorship of the working class, that is, do not dispose of formal legal instruments, but be guided by revolutionary scientific expediency. The game in democracy interferes with the political training of the working class, it daubs the cause with demagogy. Democracy should be exclusively for the working majority and the poor.
3. The power of the people's forces must fully implement the economic interests of the working class, that is, it is necessary to completely expropriate the bourgeoisie, declare a monopoly on foreign trade, and prohibit the activities of parties and organizations of the bourgeoisie, including the media. Any political half-measures always lead to the defeat of the revolution.
4. The power of the people's forces can not effectively and safely use the bourgeois state apparatus, despite the fact that the chavista has been in power for ten years already. All force services must be reformed from the loyal revolution of the working masses and the poor. The old bourgeois apparatus must be thoroughly divided and established new organs of power.
5. The form of state power should be as simple and convenient for the revolution as possible. At the moment, given the lack of full-fledged political party in Chavism, the military dictatorship of Maduro or the most authoritative comrades seems most appropriate.
6. Ultimately, in order to ensure the stability and progress of the revolution, to retain power and a strong stand against imperialist predators, the Chavism must be transformed into a political party of the avant-garde type.
7. Only the experience of Bolshevism is the true treasure trove of revolutionary communist construction. It is necessary to use it creatively.
These considerations were transferred to the Ambassador of Venezuela in the Russian Federation.

Tim Tszyu's handlers want to move him into two of Sydney's biggest venues after the exciting young boxer underlined his potential by winning the Australian Super Welterweight title. Tszyu has now achieved something even his famous father didn't. He is now an Australian boxing title holder. The 24-year-old, who grew up in Carss Park and trains at the Tszyu Boxing Academy in Rockdale, improved his record to 13-0 (10 KOs) with a convincing 10-round unanimous points decision over Victorian Joel Camilleri at The Star in Sydney on Wednesday night. Tszyu's next fight is likely to be in August with his promoter Matt Rose looking to campaign him just in Sydney in the near future. Rose confirmed the list of potential Australian opponents still included IBF No.12 Dwight Ritchie, Camilleri's stablemate Michael Zerafa, who Tszyu replaced in the WBA ratings, and former WBO welterweight world champion Jeff Horn, who was commentating from ringside on Wednesday. Rose is looking at Sydney's largest indoor venue, Qudos Bank Arena, and the new Bankwest Stadium, which is built on the site of the old Parramatta Stadium where Tszyu's father Kostya made a successful super lightweight world title defence 23 years ago "Tim is now rated No.15 in the world with the WBA and IBF and after tonight's performance he'll climb in the world ratings,'' Rose said. "'We're pretty keen to bring the big fights to Sydney, that's one thing we really want to do, I believe there's a fanbase in Sydney for boxing 'We'd like to move out to Qudos very soon, we sold out here tonight, so we need a bigger venue. "Bankwest is definitely on the radar, me and (Tszyu's manager) Glen (Jennings) have had that discussion and it's a dream to hold a world title there for Tim." Tszyu said he had learnt more from fighting Camilleri than he had in all his previous bouts. "It's a significant step in my career to defeat the Australian champion," Tszyu said. "I got to test myself and learnt more about not just myself but about my soul and my heart. "I know it's a long long long road ahead to the ultimate goal." Also remaining unbeaten as a professional after Wednesday was heavyweight and former rugby league star Justin Hodges. He scored his second quickfire win in as many fights, taking just 23 seconds to stop professional debutant Troy McMahon. Australian Associated Press

Today, we're going to skip over cash contributions (a really vaguely defined category without a lot of room for straightforward cost cutting) and take a look at apparel and services. As you can see from the budget above, the average American family spends $1,604 per year on apparel and services, which averages out to about $140 a month. Remember, however, that this "average American family" includes single adults, married couples without children, and families with children, too. In other words, a single person is probably coming in below that, whereas a large family (like ours) is probably coming in above that.
So, what constitutes "apparel and services"? Obviously, clothing falls into this category, but so do things like dry cleaning, shoe repair, and tailoring.
The rest of this article consists of a long list of specific tactics that you can use to trim your apparel costs. As with the other savings articles in this series, it's important to remember that everyone lives a somewhat different life and thus some of these tactics are going to seem useful and sensible to you, while others will seem like a stretch to you, and still others won't apply at all. That's okay. Ignore the ones that don't apply. Make an effort to adopt the most sensible ones. Then, give the others a trial run and see if it's something that can work for you. Commit to some of the challenging ones for thirty days and see if they work, or apply them during the relatively rare situations when those costs come up.
Never go clothes shopping without a plan. This is true for any shopping excursion, of course: you should never go shopping unless you have a very strong grasp on exactly what you plan on buying. That way, you have a "mission" to undertake when you enter the store. You're looking solely for the items that match what you're looking for.
Doing this cuts down drastically on wandering and browsing, and stores of all kinds are designed to get people to buy more things when they wander and browse, particularly things that they don't need and barely want. That's the purpose of almost every feature of a modern store, from the layout to the ambient music to the location of particular items to the displays. It's all about converting a "wanderer"/"browser" into a buyer, regardless of their desires.
You can short-circuit that by having a plan. Make up your mind as precisely as possible before you enter the store in terms of exactly what you need to buy and focus entirely on executing that purchase as efficiently as possible. That way, you have far less focus left over for unplanned purchases, which are often money dropped straight down the drain.
Switch to a "flexible" professional wardrobe. This is a strategy I used quite successfully during my last few years of professional work. In short, I essentially had a handful of "mix and match" elements that all went together pretty well to create the impression that I had a lot more clothes than I did.
For example, I had a few pairs of very basic dress pants, several fairly basic dress shirts, and a number of ties that didn't clash with the shirts. By mixing and matching these, it gave the impression that I had more clothes than I did. This would have been even easier if I were in an environment to wear a jacket to work, as mixing and maxing shirts, ties, and jackets that don't clash with each other makes your wardrobe look huge when it's not really all that big.
Try to choose clothes that go reasonably well with lots of other things and you simply don't need as many clothes because everything goes together. It's easy to just throw together an outfit if everything matches.
Buy well-made and long lasting items if you're buying new items. Some of the strategies on this list are for buying used items. Used items come with the implicit understanding that they're not going to last forever and that's okay – that's part of the deal when spending a fraction of the cost.
When you're buying new, however, look for brands that have a reputation for being very long lasting and sturdy and spend a little more for them. A shirt that will last ten years is worth paying 50% more for compared to a shirt that will last two or three years.
Spend some time researching brands that have a reputation for long-lasting apparel and make those brands your focus. At the same time, know how to identify well-made clothes. Learn to inspect seams and cloth to make sure that the items are going to last.
If you're less fashion-conscious (like me), buy a repetitive wardrobe of stuff that just fits and works. My wife says I dress like Mark Zuckerberg. I take that as a compliment. For those unfamiliar, Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook, a billionaire many times over, and a person who essentially wears the same thing every single day. His closet is mostly just full of duplicates of the same items.
If you have a particular outfit that looks reasonably good on you and fits you well, just buy several copies of the same outfit whenever you find it on sale and wear them until the items wear out, then repeat. Since I work from home, I wear a plain t-shirt and jeans every single day, so I just buy well-made jeans and t-shirts when they're on sale and wear them forever. It works really well for me and keeps the cost low.
When clothes become worn out, save them for "around the house" use. When a shirt becomes worn out, don't throw them out. Save them instead for days when you're going to be at home taking care of household tasks or just relaxing. Wear that old t-shirt or even that old dress shirt on those days. There's nothing wrong with wearing a beat-up dress shirt to weed the garden or to walk the dog or to wash the windows or to do laundry. There's nothing wrong with wearing an old t-shirt when you're cleaning out your car or doing the dishes or helping your child with a school project.
As long as the clothes cover your body and are comfortable to wear, they're perfectly fine to wear around the house.
When they're too worn even for that, make a "rag bag." Eventually, clothes become just too worn to even wear around the house. T-shirts and socks and other items eventually get holes in them or tear along their seams and they're just not wearable any more.
In that event, convert them into rags. You can just toss them into a bin in the garage to soak up messes or cover the ground if you have to lay down. You can cut up t-shirts and hem the edges to use as cleanup rags and dish rags around the house. This saves on buying rags or paper towels and gets even more value out of your most used clothes.
When you shop for clothes, start at the secondhand store (particularly ones near or in upscale neighborhoods). Here's a secret about secondhand stores and thrift stores: you don't go shopping for the junky stuff. You ignore all of that. Instead, you browse through the shelves and hangers for the items that are stuck in there inexplicably, the items that are in great shape and on sale for a buck or two. There are always items like that in thrift stores and secondhand shops. You just have to look.
The ratio of junk items to quality items is much better at thrift stores and secondhand stores that are near upscale neighborhoods because people from those neighborhoods go to the nearest secondhand shops to offload their stuff, so you can go in there and often pick up things that are essentially new.
Sell off the nicer clothing you don't regularly wear. Most people eventually build up items in the back of their closet that they don't wear. Perhaps it's uncomfortable. Perhaps it just doesn't fit well. Perhaps it's just not as well "liked" as other items in your closet.
Whatever the reason, if you're not wearing it, you should sell it and get some value out of it. If it's a nice article of clothing, take it to a consignment store. If it's more worn, donate it. Even if you aren't directly compensated, you're still freeing up room in your closet.
Buy clothes for future seasons at the end of the current season. Quite often, as stores transition from stocking clothes for one season into stocking clothes for another season, they'll have big sales on the clothes for the previous season to avoid having to send them back to the manufacturer. It's almost always better for the store to actually sell the item at a discount than return it.
Take advantage of this. If your winter wardrobe needs a refresh, wait until the later winter months to buy clothes to refresh it. If your summer clothes need a refresh, wait until the later summer months to refresh it. You'll find that retailers of all stripes have the clothes you need on sale right when you're ready to buy.
Take advantage of tax-free holidays. In my state, the first weekend of August is a tax-free holiday on apparel, meaning you pay no sales tax on apparel items bought during that three day period. Stores take advantage of this and compete with clothing sales to maximize the number of customers that come in the door.
Because of that, it's a perfect time to buy school clothes and do a bit of a wardrobe refresh. We often start by going to thrift shops the weekend before and buying clothes there, then fill in the holes in the wardrobes by hitting the clothes sales during the tax free weekend. We can often refresh our entire wardrobes for a fraction of the price of shopping for clothes on normal weekends.
Don't assume "everything's on sale" if you're at an outlet mall. Outlet malls have a reputation of being places to find nice bargains, but the truth is that many outlet malls are just retail stores for their specific brands. While you might find some discounts, you're making a big mistake if you treat everything there as being on discount.
If you're going shopping at an outlet mall, keep your price guard up and make sure that things are actually at "outlet prices" before you buy. If you're not saving much by shopping there, don't buy there; you can often find better bargains by simply using the other strategies in this article.
Avoid clothes that require extra care as much as possible. One of the biggest money sinks of a professional wardrobe is upkeep. It can cost a lot to keep your clothes dry cleaned or to take on special cleaning practices yourself for specific garments. Even if there is no additional cost, there's often additional time involved.
The best strategy here is to make sure that the garments you buy don't require any additional care, particularly if that additional care requires you to pay for special services like dry cleaning. Just avoid such garments entirely and find other solutions for your wardrobe. Buying and wearing such clothes just turns into a time and money sink which you really can't – and shouldn't – afford.
Don't buy expensive workout clothes. While it can be tempting to buy special clothes for working out, don't do so unless there's actually a need for it. A t-shirt and a pair of shorts or sweatpants is all you need for almost any workout activity.
Yes, there may be special cases where particular articles of clothing are useful or necessary for specific people or for specific workouts, but if that need isn't there, don't invest the money. Just wear a t-shirt and shorts. It's pretty standard gym apparel and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
Swap services with a friend that can sew. If you need to adjust or hem an article of clothing, that might mean a trip to a tailor if you don't know how to sew yourself (or don't have the materials for it). That can be very expensive indeed.
A much better strategy is to become friends with an amateur who sews for a hobby and swap services with that friend. Offer to watch their children for an evening in exchange for a simple garment adjustment. Offer to fix their computer and clean off their viruses and popups in exchange for the labor portion of a major garment adjustment. You get the idea.
Swap clothes with similarly-sized friends. Many people buy clothes simply because they want to change their look a little. They want to experiment with new colors or patterns or designs.
One way to do that is to find friends that are very similar to yourself in size and do a closet swap. Simply exchange a bunch of items from your closet for similar items from your closet. Suddenly, you have a bunch of new clothes to wear and it didn't cost you a dime!
Make simple repairs yourself. If a button falls off of a shirt, it's not time to call a tailor nor is it time to throw away that garment. It's time to get out a needle and thread and spend fifteen minutes fixing the problem.
Simple issues like a loose hem or a button that's fallen off are issues that almost anyone can resolve themselves with a needle and a bit of thread. It's not difficult to sew on a button or fix a loose edge somewhere – the ability to stick a needle through cloth several times and tie a small knot is pretty much all you need. If you need more help, look online.
Be proactive with simple repairs. Rather than fixing an article of clothing with minimal effort, be a little proactive. Sew that button on securely rather than just using minimal thread. Better yet, secure all of the buttons on that shirt with an extra bit of thread, because if one came loose, it's likely that others will come loose as well.
Dry your clothes slowly. Instead of loading up your dryer and turning it on high to blast-dry your clothes, consider a slower approach. Hang them up on a line in your basement or use a drying rack or, at least, use a lower heat setting in the dryer.
While this might seem like an energy-saving tip, it's also a clothes-saving tip. Think of the lint in your lint trap in your dryer. Do you know why it becomes so full? It becomes so full because the action of the dryer is literally beating fibers out of your clothes, causing them to wear out far faster. You don't get "lint" when you line-dry or rack-dry your clothes and you get a lot less lint at a less intense dryer setting.
