unInspired Procrastination - A blog for craft, beauty product reviews, gardening, writing, designs, hobby-farming.

After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.

I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.

Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

Google Plus' discrimination because my name isn't white enough.

[Edit: I don't know why this blog post is the most popular on my list... it's not a true blog post...] Wow. Apparently MY NAME is not "real" enough for Google+, so they have suspended MY Google Plus account to decide whether or not MY name is REAL enough for them. Love the discrimination, Google+. Just because my name isn't WHITE enough for you, you suspended my account. So, sent to G+: I am extremely peeved. You have told ME that MY name is not a COMMON NAME. Now, I might not have a typical WHITE PERSON last name, and considering in public people know me as "Da' and NOT "____", it is MY business and NOT YOURS that I choose to call myself Da. I CANNOT believe that you have suspended my ridiculous Google+ account because the other day I shortened "____" to "Da". DA is my common name, and _____ is my last name. And you're a bunch of idiots if you think you can discriminate!
