Merry Christmas!!!!!

I hope all of you have a marvelous holiday season!  Thanks for being my friends.  I am thankful for each and every one of you, and for the fandom that has brought us all together.  The greatest gift I have received from HP fanfiction is getting to know all of you.

I had a funny call this evening. At least it left me laughing. Customer calls in and explains that she paid her bill on Dec 6th. (Wow!) She then made another payment a couple of days ago because she assumed we'd already taken the first payment out of her account. She overdrew her account which caused her bank to slap fees on her ( Read more... )
