[QUOTE="Tomato, post: 135291, member: 4086"] Heh, thanks for the advice but no, she wasn't putting me down and I was not being tooled or picked on. The exchange just got me thinking...it's frustrating that some folks don't seem to be willing to look outside their box even the least bit. Heh, the only reason she didn't leave the room right away is that my mantidfly was in a jar. I mean, if someone is going to ask me if my pet insect talks to me, I'm going to say "no, it doesn't." The point is, why is it so weird to keep a small insect, but not to keep a dog or a hamster? I don't (and haven't) even spent any money on this critter. I wonder what this lady thinks of the [I]E. coli[/I] in her intestine? How would she take to the notion that every mitochodrion in every cell in her body is technically a free-living creepy crawly "bug." lol -Tomato [/QUOTE]
