Who Is "bear"? < > Your Host ~ the Hug Collector

My name is BillyRay, I am a elderly Christian country boy, born in the back woods of Mich. and now am living in the mountains of NC USA, I,m short (5' 6") overweight (250 lbs.) and I have a full beard that I have had since 1966. When we go out to eat, the kids in the restauants point at me and say "look mommy, its Santa Clause", I just love it. Ho Ho Ho

I am married to a super nice mountain lady, who is also a Christian, and we have a small white-red-tan Pekingese dog named Babygirl who is more then just a pet, she is a member of the family.

I am not real good with computers or designing web pages. So if things don't look just right or work right please let me know and I will try to correct it if I can.

Also if you have any suggestions as to ways to improve any of my pages or if you would like to see a page on a certain subject, please feel free to let me know.

Due to having emphysema I am on SS disability and sell stuff on eBay from time to time. Also on some of my other pages you will find HO and N scale Model Trains & World Coins and Banknotes, as I buy, sell, trade, and collect model trains and foreign money.

My hobbies/interests are... Collecting world coins & Bank Notes, Computers, the Internet, Model Trains & Model Boats, collecting Hugz and Studying the Bible. I have also not to long ago started to learn to play the harmonica and Irish Penny Whistle. I have very little musical talents and cannot read music. But I'm sure having a ball playing them anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Smily Page Do you like to Smile ? If so, then visit my Smily Page, I think its kind of neat, and I had a lot of fun putting it together. It took quite awhile, but if it makes some ones day a little brighter, then it was worth it.

My Model Train Page, On my train page you will find a few of the trains I have, some are from my personal collection and are not for sale. But most of them are for sale or trade. I have tried to lay it out so it will be easy for you to see the different types of trains and train cars. If you see anything there you are interested in and would like to buy it or trade for something send me a email and let me know. I'm aleays interested in trading for items like other trains, cameras, watches, world coins & banknotes, most anything of value. Oh, ya, I'm always interested in bars of "GOLD".

My BBB Page (Bears Banner Bonanza) Here you will find some very interesting web tools and websites that will help you out in your cyber life.

* My Favorite Web Site's *

Boomspeed.com Boomspeed.com is one of the most popular and simple to use photo and webpage sharing services on the Internet in business since 2001 and growing every day. Because they are the best.

Try their new 250 meg Premium account with unlimited bandwidth. With a Summer Special, of a FREE 30 day trial of their 250 meg Premium "The Sky Is The Limit" (unmetered bandwidth) all you can serve account. Where can you go wrong. Nothing to loose and one of the best photo and webpage sharing services on the Internet to gain. Looks like a win-win deal to me.

Just between you and me, Boomspeed.com has a lot more to offer then just a place to host your images and other files, such as, a forum board where you can get answers to just about anything from how to put images in a auction or build a web site, or how to fix a computer that has gone goofy on you to whats the seacret to Grandma'a apple pie recept. Included with your account (at no extra cost) is their Super Spam & Virus Blocked E-Mail Service. Plus Boomspeed.com's hosting service and does not downgrade the quality of your photos like on Photobucket.com and other hosting services. With boomspeed.com you have the highest quality photo resolution there is! It's super fast, better than anything else and nothing beats it! And there is more, but I dont want it to sound to good or you will not believe me.

Give it a try and tell them bear sent you.

If you need some place to host your images and pictures for you auctions or a web page, or, if you are interested in computers, web designs, online auctions, html's, or just want to say hey-howdy to a super fine bunch of people visit "www.http://boomspeed.com", (just click on the boomspeed link below) they have just about all the information and friendly people there you could want. And I am proud to be a member.

Be sure to check out Tickie's Web Page Themes , it is one of the best web site I have ever seen. And she has some of the most beautyful backgrounds ever, as well as the best way of seeing them. You just slide your mouse pointer over the image and presto, the whole screen lights up with the background. Plus she has a lot of other neat stuff.

Also among my links below you will find one of the best HTML Tutorails I have come accross yet, "eobcards.com", he sells collector cards, mostly non-sports cards but if sport cards are your thing he has a large slection of those also. Give him a visit and tell him the bear sent ya. (no I don't get a cickback or commision).

Do you like flowers? Roses in paticular, then visit Ms. Mary's garden. She has a super web site and some very beautiful roses and flowers. With lots of pictures of her garden. Its simply "fantabulous"

Well I guess that is about all for now. Check back from time to time as I will be updating this page as time goes on. And I learn more about what I am doing.

Hugz & Smiles are quite unique, you can give them away all day long, and never run out.
