Fun!
I'm going to be sick. There's no more justification for being prejudicided against speakers of a non-Standard dialect than to be prejudiced against practicioners of a minority religion, but here it comes again! And yet, when I point out that it doesn't mean that this woman is retarded, I get yelled at, and words get put in my mouth. Because, of course, it's so much easier to contest what I didn't say than what I actually *did* say.
I need to hie me to Jenn's. I'll talk later. Djusk' a.

It sounds to me like she intends giving up.
I gave up when James was 8 months old(with the aid of the patch) & my kids all think cigarette smoke is gross.
I smoked outside, too. Unfortunately, that didn't stop the kids getting sick on the smoke that lingered on me.
