How to Make Beautiful Flower Arrangements

I’m a 16 year old male, I have a passionate devotion for servicing others. I have wanted to become a funeral director since I was 12, because I experienced two losses, one being a cousin in June 2003 and a friend in September 2003. Ever since this has been my calling.

Anyways, I now work part time at a funeral home. If your wondering exactly what I do, I mainly stand at the door as a greeter during evening wakes and other services. I rarely answer the telephone but can, I may also help my boss and other funeral directors arrange flowers, pictures and other memorabilia in the chapels and clean / straighten up, re fill candy jars and place pens and calenders and info brochures on tables where they are visible. — Ya know little stuff. Im at the very bottom of the totompole and when I graduate high school in 2012 I plan to attend a nearby Mortuary Science School and most likely graduate as a Lic. Funeral Director in 2015.

Getting to the "big" question finally, I’m going to receive a 1099 for taxes in February of 2011. I don’t make alot. I only get paid the same everytime I work a wake, $30.00 on a company check which I deposit into a savings account. Taxes are not deducted from my pay check.

How much taxes will I have to pay even though im a minor and work part time? I heard it is minimal because of many things don’t apply to me. Some say I may be charged nothing at all.

So, what should I expect next Feb?

You are an employee, not an independent contractor. As such you will receive a W-2, not a 1099.

Your employer is illegally evading the payment of payroll taxes by not withholding anything from your wages. He’s also ripping YOU off by trying to transfer his tax liability to YOU!

File a Form SS-8 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss8.pdf with the IRS right now to get a formal ruling on your status. If you wait until filing time next year you’ll run into extended delays trying to resolve this matter during tax season.

I do flower arranging and win competitionss some times but don’t tell my mates. Do you think they’ll think less of me if I tell them I like to do flower arranging? I’m a taxidermist by trade and otherwise am overall kind of blokey.

Yeah a bit wimpy but you are what you are.

HELP!!! both my fiance and I have divorced parents who have since remarried. How would you suggest that I arrange my main table. I have 2 best men and 2 brides maids to think of as well. Also do the flower girl and page boy sit at the main table If so…then there is them to consider as well.

I think flower girl and page boy should sit with their parents.

I think mom and stepdad need their own table, where they act as hosts to their family members and/or friends. I think dad and stepmom need their own table, where they act as hosts to their family members and/or friends.

My advice? Have a small head table . . . bride, groom, best men with their dates or wives, bridesmaids with their dates or husbands.

Parents and their spouses? Each couple gets their own separate table, acting as hosts to their own family members and/or friends.

No sense in trying to seat all those parents together, especially if some of them are not amicable. I vote for seating each couple separately, allowing them to act as hosts at their own table.

Any recommendation on wedding flowers books ? to get some ideas and learn how to arrange wedding flowers ?

You have a rectangular flower garden. How many different ways can you arrange 24 flowers if you plant them in equal rows with at least 6 flowers in each row? There are 6 mums, 5 roses, and 13 violets.
Thanks to anyone who can help =]

it’s best to let your child try and figure this out. if it’s wrong, then they will learn. doing their homework for them isn’t any good. helping, yes. making sure it’s done, yes
let them show you how they are doing it and that might help
