I have a question for the superstitious among you. Is it considered good luck or a portent of bad things to come if a frog moves in next door

I just want to thank you for posting something extremely amusing for me to read at 5am. (well okay so it's 6:38am now, but it was some time after 5 when I read it the first time)
"For many centuries, the Frog has been a symbol of abundance, partly due to the very large number of eggs it lays at one time. It has been worn as an amulet by men and women of many cultures: In Rome, the frog was a mascot believed to bring good luck to the home.
The people of Ireland believed them to be close relatives of the leprechaun and capable of playing tricks on you when least expected. The three-legged toad from China is the traditional pet of the immortal Liu Hai, who is also the Chinese god of wealth. This toad is a symbol for riches, and is often pictured with a gold coin in its mouth."
