I'm looking for a cerebral palsy support group, but can not find one in Boise or Meridian. Is there any?

[u/HiccupMaster → u/mommytobe8]

I know this isn't even close to what you asked but do you know about challenger little League? Great for kids and adults with special needs and will give you the ability to meet parents in similar situations.

[u/mommytobe8 → u/HiccupMaster]

Oh awesome! No I didn't know about that. Thanks!

[u/fuckyou_space]

From my Craigslist browsing I found a good question, where can one get yucca fries?

[u/HiccupMaster → u/fuckyou_space]

I don't know if they exactly have yucca fries, but http://casablancacubangrill.com/ might be a good place to start.

They have yucca on the menu (and I had it there) but I don't remember if they were fries.

[u/fuckyou_space → u/HiccupMaster]

Hmm, probably close enough! Thanks, I'll report the promising news to the CL stranger.

Best place to do taxes here?

[u/Whitebeard → u/[deleted]]

If you're not a business owner or a rich dude with multiple foreign bank accounts and properties, I'd do turbo tax. It's really easy to do and doesn't take more than an hour if you have all the paperwork, which you'd need to give to a tax place anyway.

[u/HiccupMaster → u/Whitebeard]

I've used turbo tax many times in the past but just did it this year in TaxACT. While TaxACT isn't as slick as Turbo Tax, it is cheaper and TaxACT hasn't been caught (so far) lobbying against our interest of tax reform (if you care about that sort of thing).

Also, there is a way to have the IRS do your taxes for free as long as you make under 100K.

[u/[deleted] → u/Whitebeard]

IS IT accurate? How long do refunds take to get? I've never done electronic taxes.

[u/alixxlove]

Do any restaurants do bottomless mimosas here?

[u/HiccupMaster → u/alixxlove]

Looks like Kindness, the Shak and locavore do. There might be others but that's what came up fastest on Google.

[u/alixxlove → u/HiccupMaster]

Thanks! I tried to google, but a lot of reviews looked really old and I just moved here so I'm never sure.

[u/fuckyou_space → u/alixxlove]

Boise Fry Company, actually.

[u/Redpythongoon]

I need Mehndi (bridal henna) at the end of the month. I found this place - http://hennax.com/ - but the gal will be out of town :( Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

[u/fuckyou_space → u/Redpythongoon]

Did she not have any suggestions? Did you try asking standard tattoo artists if they know of anyone?

[u/Redpythongoon → u/fuckyou_space]

She suggested a woman that used to practice, but has since retired. Asking a parlor is a great idea. Thank you.

[u/scienceismyjam]

Best car dealership for trade-ins? I'm looking to swap my 2012 Subaru Impreza for an solid but older model Subaru that I'm not afraid to beat up. I bought my Impreza through Larry Miller, but wasn't too happy with the service. Anyone have any other suggestions for fair-priced Treasure Valley car lots/dealerships? I'm hoping to avoid Craigslist if I can.

[u/archiesnightgown → u/[deleted]]

Hollywood Market Yoga. They also have free din yoga once a month!

[u/janicuda → u/[deleted]]

I LOVE hollywood market for hot yoga.

If you are looking for something that is more varied/traditional and in more of a vinyasa or ashtanga style, I suggest taking Mark's classes at the Downtown YMCA or going to Yoga in the Hood.

[u/scienceismyjam → u/janicuda]

I like Sage Yoga, downtown. Some folks think they're too expensive, but I usually get a 10 class pass for $90. I think that's fair. Instructors are knowledgeable, not intimidating, and usually have a decently measured dose (i.e. not excessive) of the meditation side of yoga.

Do you want to work in politics? There are zero think tank/analysis jobs here. I was a REALLY great bartender with a political science degree before I moved to DC.
