Discount Garden Supplies, Compare, Review And Find

I’m 14 and have been a volunteer for my local senior center since I was 10. I volunteer every Thursday during summer. Plus, since it’s government owned I do the cities holiday events as well. I have a had a passion for gardening my whole life. As well as a passion in helping people. Over the years I would always be at my grandma gardening for her and as a reward I would get cool plants and money in return. I loved it. Just about a couple months ago I pursued indoor gardening. Started with one light and a tin herb garden. Then grew to racks with lights, plant food, and all sorts of professional items! I grow around 30 plants at a time so far I have done 28 basil and 50 parsley… The basil are put into cups after germination… then I bring them down to the senior center and place them on a table with a little information about my process. The seniors always take the plants and they LOVE them. I know or at least recognized a lot of seniors there and have gained friendships… I also volunteer at my church’s Senior Connections. They have something called tips with a purpose. I volunteer with them once a month on their monthly dinner. I work for around 7 hours… from preparation to dishes in the church’s kitchen. Seniors tip me and the other volunteers then the money is split to the volunteers. I normally get -80. That money is then put into an account for me to direct. Of course I use the money for seniors. I am using it now to buy a real nice indoor fireplace for the senior center. I would like to combine my love of plants and seniors by starting a non-profit called "Plants for Seniors". I could then have a non-profit bank account that I can have my church money go into then I could purchase all my soil and seeds using that account. I also could then buy more supplies to get bigger and provide even more plants of all sorts! I have connections with my cities various departments. We have a festival every year and it’s like any festival with hundreds of tents with goods from citizens! I could sell plants in a cup for (nice sized ones too) and the money can go right into my non-profit. I would NOT bank any money for myself. I could then upgrade from plastic cups to clay cups. I could also probably get my local Hardware store to donate some or give me a discounted price. I need to know what I have to do to get a non-profit started. I do realize I need an attorney to start one. How can I do this for cheap or find one that will do it for free? I do have around 0 right now I could use for costs to start up. So money wise I’d be set.

I live in Washington State in the Snohomish County area. So if you or you know someone who could help me out who is an attorney please post.

Help!?!? Please!!

For my wedding day, we had a mishap with the limo company. To tell you a bit about the situation, I’ll need a minute of your time because it’s a bit lengthy.

My mother called the Limo Service of Cleveland, located in Berea because a friend of hers used it as their wedding day limo service and got a huge discount. My mother called and interviewed the owner, then passed the phone to me for the final decision. I told Mike, the owner, that the only thing I cared about was that the limo was newer-looking, clean and in excellent condition. Mike told me that the vehicle was a 2006 and was "like new". He stated that the deposit would be 0 and the final balance would be due two weeks in advance of the event. I gave my mom the "OK" to put the 0 deposit on her credit card, (as the deposit was a gift from her and my father.) I also arranged for a meeting for my husband and I to come in, check out the vehicle and sign the contract.

When my (then) fiancee and I pulled up to the company office, right away red flags were raised when we saw a mechanic working with the hood of the vehicle proped open. The mechanic saw our concern and he immediately told us that it was "routine" for him to check the vehicle before every run. He showed us around the limo and to my dismay, it was a rust bucket. The limo was white with a black baseboard. The baseboard had a few dents and to cover obvious rusting, they spray-painted over it with black paint. The interior of the vehicle was dirty and the carpeting had major staining.

When the owner pulled in the drive and took us into his office, I informed him of my concern. I told him that I was interested in another of his vehicles, to which he replied that I’d have to submit another 0 deposit on top of the initial deposit to cover for the different vehicle, which he suggested was in "higher demand". I told him that I didn’t have the money at the time of the appointment and I advised that I’d either mail or drop of the payment. Either way he’d receive it within two weeks.

To my parents’ surprise and dismay, Mike charged the deposit to their credit card account the same day of our appointment, (after I told him that I would bring him the payment!) After the charge was taken, my father called the limo company and asked about the limo, telling him that he misrepresented the original limo when he said it was newer and it ended up being a rust-bucket. He also asked the owner if he held a legitimate business, as he’s never heard of a company controlling their business in such a fraudulent manner. The owner pled ignorance and said that he’d have to call my father back as the contract was not in front of him. We never received the promised returned call.

Two months before the wedding, the limo company charged my parents account the final balance. We called the company many times and were unable to leave a voicemail because the voicemail box was full. My parents decided that they’d cover the limo charge and my fiancee and I would repay them. They also closed their credit card account with the credit card company so that the limo company could no longer charge them.

The day before the wedding we were finally contacted by Mike to go over the schedule. We didn’t have a backup plan, so we were cordial over the phone. I made sure with him that the vehicle would be clean and I verified the itinerary. I let him know that we had a tight schedule so the driver had to be perfectly on-time.

The day of the wedding, the limo was clean and prompt. I was happy that everything was going according to plan. After church, the limo driver congratulated us by supplying the limo with two bottles of champaigne, however there were no cups. This being the least of our worries, we invited him to the after-church brunch and fed him.

We made it to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, took pictures and then headed to the Cleveland Art Museum for our next picture session. Mid-way to the Museum, the lights in the limo burned out and the radio stopped working. The limo slowed down and we came to a stand-still in front of the Museum. During the pictures the limo driver informed us that the alternator blew and a replacement limo was on its way. The groomsmen, (most of them being mechanics), tried to work on the limo in their tuxedos, but they had no luck.

Before-hand, we had to reserve the BP Building, (an inside venue in case it rained) for 0. We had every intention of taking pictures there. We were unable to make it there for pictures. Furthermore, my groom and I had to jump in the photographer’s car and head to the reception site because we were going to be late.

We were scheduled to arrive at the reception hall at 5pm, where the bridesmaids and I would "freshen-up" and we’d take more pictures with the whole group on the Country Club golf course. We also had a videographer scheduled to take video shots of us starting at 5:30pm. The reception started at 6:00 pm.

The groom and I arrived in
