I'm writing an editorial for my show and am having such a BRAIN CRAMP!
What's the word... arctophille or something like that.... that describes a person into bears... or perhaps it's teddy bear collectors. I can't spell the word right nor do I know the proper definition so I can't find it online. But I want to use the word!

Help!!

(See, I can't stay away FOREVER!!! It's been what, 12 hours!!  :crackup: )

Hi Daphne!

I googled what you said and found....
Teddy bear collectors are known as arctophiles from the Greek words 'arcto' (bear) and 'philos' (lover).
I LOVE GOOGLE

Thanks, Chrissi! I forget just how specific I can be when asking "Google" a 'question'! I'm feeling like a dufus!

And I almost had it right! Now why doesn't MS Word recognize that word??? HA!  :crackup:

Thank you so much!!!!

Yes, Arctophile is the right word!

You you could also add ADDICTED!   
As well as ANOTHER ONE!
And AGAIN...

Beary hugs,
Sophie.
