If you e-filed your return and are expecting a refund, you should get it pretty quickly. The Internal Revenue Service says most refunds are issued in less than 21 days. That's assuming your tax return is complete, has no errors and is not affected by identity theft or fraud. So if it's been more than 21 days and you haven't seen any sign of it, the IRS gives you several ways to track it down.
How long does dry ice last? The question of how long does dry ice lasts does depend somewhat on the purpose it is being used for. As a general rule, it will last for 18-24 hours in a cooler or ice chest, 3-5 hours outside and 15-45 minutes when reduced to a liquid form. If you are storing it in a cooler, make sure it is not an airtight one as when the ice melts, the gases could cause the cooler to burst!
If you can get dry ice, a 50 pound block will protect solidly frozen food in a full 20-cubic foot freezer for three to four days. If dry ice is not available and/or you do not have a thermometer in the freezer, then the question of safety becomes a bigger issue the longer you are without power. Re-freeze only if ice crystals are still present OR the freezer is 40Â°F or below. 2  If the temperature is above 40Â°F, throw these foods out. 3  Ice Cream. 4  If partially thawed, throw it out. 5  The texture of ice cream is not acceptable after thawing. 6  If its temperature rises above 40Â°F, it could be unsafe.
