My girlfriend hates them and always calls them "slimey". Ive showed her over and over again that they are not but, then she switches to her other complaint. " I just don't know if its gonna jump on my or not, freaks me out!" I hate preconceptions... But, it works out cuz, she wont come into my "frog room", gives me a place to be alone to think. And post on frog Forum of course. lol
