That's generally what happens in that case. Your payroll was likely withholding based on a full year's salary. Since you only had a partial year's worth of income you were likely in a lower tax bracket than you would have been had you worked the full year, so taxes were being withheld at too high of a rate. At least that's what happened the year that I only worked for 6 months.

Well, depending on my car and the final cost, I may need more than one cone (and thank goodness they will be free)

[Not Afraid]

OOOH! Paying for car repairs - that's now my excuse for free ice cream.

Is Free Scoop Day a national holiday yet?

[Mousey Girl]

*sigh*
No free icecream in the land of the Unswank. Closest store is in Valencia. I can't justify driving 70-90 miles for a free cone.

Hmmm...the nearest to me is in a mall. I'm not sure it's worth it.

[CoasterMatt]

Nearest one to me is just outside my ticket booth

Yum.

New Flavor - Vanilla Fudge Chunk.



Ok, it's glorified Chocolate Chip, but yummy.

And ALL FREE TODAY






(one of the great mysteries of 's allergic life is why the chips in chocolate chip ice cream or on chocoate chip cookies are not poison, but bar chocoate is)

Today's damage:

Creme Brulee in a cone

Jamaican Me Crazy in a cup

Speaking of Ben & Jerry's, has anyone tried the Americone Dream yet?
