I take no credit in this. All I did were sneaking into the women restroom at my workplace, copying down the lines from the wall, and typing them up here. So, well, obviously I can't explain all of them, but generally I think they're cool. Anyway, enjoy!!!

I have no idea about that... since I'm one of those negative people too - -'

When I was copying down those lines, I tried to figure out all of them, yet...

Buy whatever kids are selling on card-tables in their front yards.
I really can't get this one.


Use the good silver.
They mean don't use fake materials??

And my doubt level attained relative maximum when I reached this point...

Have a dog.

I always read the instruction, so that I can fully utilize the things I have in my hands. It's better to know all of their usages, right?

"Buy whatever kids are selling on card-tables in their front yards. "
-> I think this means when ur kids (or other kids) want to sell old things from them (or just sell normal things for playing economical games), just purchase something for supporting => nice sentence :D
I really love these sentences :) sometimes, simple things become hard to carrrying out. Some people always think about "big" things and reflect themselves r important => really really dont like that kind of person X-(
