    Can anyone recommend any "good" tax accountants? Not quite Saul Goodman "good" but ya know....pretty good. I'm trying to pay as low of an effective tax rate as possible, without defrauding the government.

    how complex is your return? If it's very simplistic I am team turbotax all day. Very easy to use, cheap, and accurate. But I'm single and have a pretty straightforward return that I don't want to pay an accountant $300 to do when I can complete it myself in a half hour

    I'm not married (yet) and I'm an independent contractor with a lot of expenses and mileage...I was team turbo tax when I was still a W-2 but now that I'm a 1099, I think it's time to enlist the help of a professional.

    I love NY butcher, but they are very expensive. And I don't know that I have ever seen butts in there. Maybe they keep them in the back though. Like you said, you can probably do just as well at a grocery store.

    Go to the Homewood pig or Mtn Brook western bruh. It's a butt. All you're looking for is adequate and even marbling and uniform shape, ie not too thin/tall

    I have to think the Diversity rating hurt Mtn Brook's place in this ranking.

    You missed out last week when the Western was doing a 2pk of shoulders for $1.29/lb. But seriously, shoulders don't matter EDIT: Swim Cantore the Pig has the same deal this week. :doitfaggot:

    It was done by a guy from Bham. Somewhat of a comedian/writer. And apparently somewhat of a painter as well. It was done in jest.

    He went to Pelham though so he's basing his opinion entirely off their 4H program.

    I think they still are. Pretty sure they were a top 15 team in the nation this year if I remember correctly.

    Those are your two options. And ASFA if your kid wants to be a musician/artist/math wiz. There are weird kids everywhere. Don't worry about that.
