Can You Handle The Quiet? (Corrupted Vlog?)

 Sometimes putting together exciting vlogs to keep people's attention is just so hard. I'm not really a loud person so I thought I'd stitch together all these soft moments. Husband talks a bit in some of the parts but I find his voice soothing so it stays in.

Why Did I Start Running?

I was never athletic because I believed that I couldn't be. Which was wrong.

I've gotten older and realized I am an athletic person and I had missed out on so many opportunities as a girl only because people told me I was a girl, I wasn't strong enough, I was not made for it, I was born clumsy.

Sometimes my own fears would get in the way. The only one who ever encouraged me for the long term was my little brother.

Then he became injured and I happened to see a virtual 5k for brain injury on my advertisement page on FB. That was about a year or so ago.

Anyway, I signed up against my better judgment. I ended up at the track... dropped off by my hubby who thought I was crazy. So, there I was alone... fighting with my own demons walking for my brother when my heart broke thinking... he can't do this sort of thing anymore. What a blessing I have in my own body. I tried running for the first time and I was shocked that I couldn't even run a full minute. Later I was in so much pain I had to ice bath even though I didn't even run a lot.

I thought that I was done but like a light switch... I desired to run more. I bought an entire running outfit and started to train. I could not do the c25k program yet so I worked on my goal being able to run a minute and then more and more until I was running!

I joined more races and people saw how happy I was. Then my husband joined me and since the thing I've been working on my own personal running goals. When I'm sick because of PCOS or Hashimoto's and complications that go with those it helps me to know that I can be strong on the race track. I run with six different awareness ribbons. Some for myself and some for my family.

Is Grav3yardgirl "Bunny Meyer" A Reincarnation Of Sarah Winchester?

Previously, I had had a dream about the Buzzfeed Unsolved's hosts being reincarnations. If you've not seen that original video or blog post please go check that out and give it a thumbs up. I personally am very proud of that work and I find that I had a dream about it so strange.

Hand-tinted ambrotype of Sarah Winchester taken in 1865
by the Taber Photographic Company of San Francisco
This theory, however, was not a dream but rather a proclamation as I was watching Graveyard girl on Youtube. Once I said it out loud my husband agreed with me enthusiastically. "Oh yes!" he said. "I can see that!"
Before we delve further please kind in mind that this is just for entertainment and it not a factor meant to be harmful to anyone in any way.

Sarah Winchester is a well known historical eccentric and wealthy woman. You'd probably best know her by the famous crazy house she built with whimsical rooms and doors that go nowhere. You might even know that there is a mystery surrounding why she decided to build her home like this. I strongly suggest looking up some videos and material about her and the house. It is an amazing feat of creation and exploration of the human mind.

Bunny from her Tarte Collection Photos
"Bunny Meyer" also known as Grav3yardgirl is a self-made Youtuber that is also eccentric and wealthy. You'll probably best know her for her "Does This Thing Really Work" style videos where she tries various TV products but she is also known for her fanatical collections and style.

Let us start drawing parallels between these two wonderful ladies. Their early lives are not well known as both have never deeply expanded upon them. They both came from families at were doing well for themselves. Sarah Lockwood Winchester was born September 5th, 1922 and "Bunny Meyer" was born August 3, 1985, so they both had late to early fall birthday's. Both ladies are petite, thin and shorter than the average. Each has a reputation as being beautiful with Sarah being called the "Belle of New Haven" and Bunny being heralded as a model and beauty guru. Both women fell in love with their partners having known them for years. Sarah reportedly knew her husband since childhood and Bunny knew her partner from at least high school.

In a sadder note, Sarah Winchester lost her only daughter in infancy and had no more children. Bunny has publicly declared that she has no desired to have children and does not want them but has never expanded upon the discussion. (Which more power to her! Women's reproductive choices are nobody's business but her own)

Both women ended up becoming wealthy on their own and in unique ways. Sarah had inherited her money after the tragic loss of her family. Her father in law had given her the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The company that supplied on the West's most famous and popular gun.  Bunny also had a tragedy where she lost her ability to sew in a terrible car crash and thus her dream of being a fashion designer. To cope she started making Youtube videos of various topics and growing a following.

It is assumed that both the tragedies helped form their eccentric behaviors and odd superstitions. Sarah Winchester was said to have built her house because she thought she was cursed and Bunny is said to collect so obsessively to save the past from dying or the memories being lost to time.

Sarah and Bunny Meyer are both avid and fervered believers in an afterlife and both of them pursued the idea by doing ghost hunts and other supernatural knowledge seeking. Bunny originally had made videos about her own paranormal experiences and trips to graveyards where she attempted to make friends with the possible ghosts that lived there. To this day she still attempts to explain her deep connections to the paranormal and her intuitive empath nature. Sarah Winchester built specific rooms inside her mansion dedicated to seances and attempts to connect with the dead. It is also reported that she had started building the wild mansion in the first place to confuse the spirits of those fallen by the Winchester rifle that had come to haunt her. Interestingly enough Bunny has also implied that she feels spirits come to seek her out to possibly connect with her and like Sarah Winchester has many rules to keep them away from her. One of which is not talking about the paranormal.

It's important to note here that like Sarah Winchester, Bunny often takes a special interest in setting up rooms in her house in a particular way or an in a very styled way. Bunny has been reported to say that she is building a Halloween vlog room, a 90's themed room and many other styles. She most often films in her "baby doll". Mrs. Winchester like Bunny took great interest in decoration or adornments of her house. Most noted in this fashion is her love of the stained glass windows sometimes made by the Tiffany Company who would make her custom pieces based on her current obsessions.

Obsessions, both women have them. Sarah, in particular, liked the number 13 and this theme is oft repeated in her home. Sarah preferred building in redwood but didn't like the look of it and covered it up and spider web motifs can be viewed to this day in the home. Bunny is similar in the fact she focuses on certain objects and styles such as particular patterns, themes, and style. The ladies have both been described as hoarders and fanatic collectors of objects and things. After Sarah had passed away it allegedly took six trucks working 8 hours a day for six weeks to remove all the furniture from the house. Bunny has alluded to her many storage units and bins filled with items and stuff that she would never part with.

Sarah was extremely private to the point that one photograph can be found of the interior of the house while she was alive. Bunny only recently started letting people see more of her home via vlog format where formerly she filmed in the exact same spot or outside or in her old "vlog car" to keep people from seeing her personal living space.

The details for both women are often murky. Some historians contest the evidence that Sarah built her house out of fear of the dead. There are other disputed 'fact's as well and they say that the marketing for the Sarah Winchester house obliterated who Sarah Winchester actually was! Bunny Meyer to this day is similarly reserved in correcting rumors or misinformation about herself or her partner. So, please remember that I wrote this theory in fun and for entertainment purposes only and I highly encourage you to research yourself. Please do check out Graveyard girls channel and the Sarah Winchester house!

(Unresolved Missing Persons Story) Ashley Martinez The Endangered Pool Runaway

10/9/2018 - Christopher Hart now has his own section for basic information about him. 
10/9/2018 - Two new missing person pages and links added to the link sections. 
10/9/2018 - Several new questions added and a new thoughtful notes section added 

Ashley R. Martinez 
I am posting this because this girl is close to my age and from my local community. My deepest respect to her and her family. I hope that one day her mother will have closure because even now she posts updates to try and find her lost daughter. This year there was a community gathering to try and bring renewed interest to her case.
To the people that will just shrug and say something like 'she's dead so let's move on' please understand that for her family and for the community we can't know that for sure. We don't know if she died, if she was sold into slavery, or if she was a runaway that has never looked back. So, please unless you have a good theory or well thought out comment there is no need for callousness here.
If you have information or theories DO NOT contact this family. If you think you have information you may contact the local authorities. Please call the St. Joseph PD at 816-271-4777  or call the Buchanan County Communication Center at 816-271-4777 or the TIPS Hotline at (816) 238-TIPS.
Ashley Renee Martinez's case is very detailed and has many curious tidbits. This is my write up but I don't own anything. I'm doing a combination of copy and pasting from various news sources and my own writing. Anything that is copy and paste will be in quotes and will have a link to the original source somewhere on this page. I will also be including alleged information, town gossip, and hearsay. This is crossposted into Reddit under r/UnsolvedMysteries under my own account WeathersRabbits. 

I would like to encourage you to leave creative comments, ideas, and thoughts. Please share this information especially if you are in the Missouri, Washington or California area. You don't need to share my name and you have full permission to use anything that I've written or put together about Ashley to help. Please just be mindful and kind about how you do so. 



This is a curious case and at first seems very cut and dry. However, upon closer examination of the story and the little evidence we have, it seems to be a bit more complicated. It's possible that the investigation was slowed simply because many viewed Ashley as a rebellious teenager. The family believes that she had left willingly with a man. However, that is speculation. "Ashley ran away from home once before, in 2001, but she did not leave the state and was only gone for about a day before returning home voluntarily. She was an eighth-grader at Robidoux Middle School at the time of her disappearance." 
Interestingly enough, in the community article of 2018 the article contains a quote that claims the police have not called Hart a suspect at all in the case.
Ashley was reported to have smoked cigarettes, (Menthols) partied and partook of marijuana. It is possible Christopher Hart was a drug dealer. All of this information is hearsay and alleged. 
"Ashley’s mother describes her as a beautiful girl who loves to read and has a great sense of humor." * this link to the quote found on http://www.ncmissingpersons.org/tag/ashley-martinez/ now has a 404 error 
Ashley Aged to 18
Ashley Martinez was 15 at the time missing from Saint Joseph, MO and last known location was the Krug Park Pool. Which still operates today during the summer hours. The layout has changed very little over the years. The pool has a small park next to it/behind it a bit and a very large park across the street. 

Ashley was 5'3, 110 pounds with blue eyes. Her hair color is sandy blond and she is Caucasian. Birthday is January 24th, 1989. She does have a scar or scars on her left arm/wrist. Clothing worn that day was blue jean shorts, black top with red cherries and white Reebok tennis shoes with red accents shoe size 5. Ashley's tongue, naval and ears were pierced. and she had a ring with two hearts joined together. A black bikini with red cherries was worn underneath her clothing. Ashley was reported to have a bi-bipolar disorder and is supposed to have left her medications. She may have had an inhaler with her for her mild asthma attacks.
Ashley aged to 25
I have seen some missing person flyers that suggest that she still might be in the local area while others suggest she has left the area. *this description is pieced together from several missing persons pages and flyers all links below but are too enormous to list for a single quote link.
"Ashley’s little brother said she’d left the pool of her own free will and gotten into a car with a friend. Ashley’s mother says that friend was 32-year-old, Christopher Matthias Hart."   Many news articles make it clear that the family is convinced Ashley's left with Christopher Hart that day.  According to a blog site that was shared by Ashley's mother via social media there are few more key pieces of possible information. It was reported that Ashley hung around the pool for a couple of hours before being picked up. Ashley according to friends borrowed a friend's cell phone and called Hart.  

"Before Hart supposedly left on July 6, he also stopped by an acquaintance's house, saying he had his car packed, and that he was going to pick up Ashley. It was also confirmed that Christopher Hart and Ashley had been "seeing" each other."

The reported car that she had left in is fairly unique as far as age and type the color is supposed to be grey. "Christopher Hart. He picked her up near the pool in his dad’s gray 1995 Pontiac Bonneville with Missouri license plate, 377MPY." 
However, even after Christopher Hart was arrested this car has been nowhere to be found. I feel like finding this car could really be a big lead in this case.
Though it was thought he had convinced her to go to California it is important to note that he was arrested in Washington. Allegedly purse snatching on the street corners and living with a cousin.
In 2017 they thought they had a break in the case when a witness comes forward. It's important to note however the witness Julie Wahgren is allegedly the cousin of Christopher Hart and Miss Wahren is not highly regarded in the community. She has allegedly been involved with other cases where she may have lied. She's also been reported a local drug addict. However, all of the is ALLEGED and this info is not meant to harm or defame her in any way but to bring up all the possibilities of this case into question.
This prompted a full-scale investigation but not much news was released to the public or even to Ashley's mother. The police seemed to have looked for a body in a certain area but the conclusions came up cold.
"Investigators with the assistance of search experts from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children conducted a ground search of several properties utilizing specialized equipment and cadaver dogs,” Wilson said. “The search was of value to investigators, but at this time the case remains open with investigators continuing to conduct follow up related to the investigation.”

This is a google maps view of the area. Please note that the locals call the pool the Krug Park Pool but it is in fact called Northwest Complex on the maps. Across the street from the pool is a park called Krug Park and it's the largest best kept park in the area. I have also included some street views of the pool and street which has had very little changes. I've included a map street view from 2008 which is as far back as google maps goes for this spot. I have also included a google maps view of the area they searched with cadaver dogs as well as a map that shows the correlation from the pool to the body search areas. I am unable to conclude who's private property was searched so I can't include this.




As suggested by *please see the article on Reddit for the name. I've done some deep diving into Christopher Hart.
Christopher Mathias Hart Also known as Chris Hart, Christopher M. Hart, and Raymond Michael Price Mathias is often spelled in different ways. Date of birth 12/20/1971
Possible Inmate Doc Seems likely as this lists a Saint Joseph MO address, however, this is a photo of him MUCH YOUNGER. See below for a more current photo.
Current outstanding warrant issued for a Christopher Mathias Hart in Saint Joseph MO Do a name search in the outstanding warrants bar to get the following info.
Hart, Christopher Matthias Warrant Number: 98CR268 Charges: Worthless Check Bond: Date: 19980617 Age: 46, Sex: M, Race: W
Hart VS State Listed as a Christopher M Hart V STATE of Missouri, Respondent. This court document outlines his priors as well as his currents leading up to Ashley's disappearance and afterward. I'm not entirely sure what I am reading here so maybe someone a little smarter can pick out the information that might be relevant to us.
Currently assigned address according to that website: Northeast Correctional Center 13698 Airport Road, Bowling Green, MO 63334

Notes and thoughtful Questions Section.
What happened to the unique car. It is rumored to have been registered in Christopher Hart's father's name.

What evidence for a connection to hart and Ashley have. What type of connection is it? Drug dealer, lover, both?

Where did Ashley get the heart ring that she was wearing when she went missing? Why does she have it?

What sort of mental health diagnosis did Christopher Hart have? Was there evidence of it before? Would it have an impact on the missing and how?

Where did Ashley use to live in relation to Hart? It's rumored he lived close to her.

What type of drugs did Hart allegedly sell? Where did he get them?

Where are the biggest trafficking lines for humans in Missouri, Washington and Californa and maybe along the way?

Did anyone see or have evidence of them traveling to Washington or California where Hart was found later?

Did Hart have a history of having young lovers?

(Diary) W1D1 Bridge To 10k FAIL :(

So, I've had a few days off from my last race a 5k. I've completed c25k twice now but I'm slow. So, I thought I'd do this program. Before the 5k I injured my foot/ankle area. It was one of those injuries where I could not uncurl my toes my foot when a little numb and it hurt to walk on. It cleared up mostly for the race and I got through without much issue.(The race was hilly though not something I trained for very well) I've rested from that and just tried to do a slow easy run on the treadmill. 8 mins in though that foot/ankle started to hurt so I quit before much more pain. It's weird though... the pain is above the ankle and up the side of the shin. It does not feel like the shin splints I had when I started running a year ago.

I can't go to the sports clinic until next week. So, I'm depressed about not being able to run. I'm worried this is a serious injury. I need to find another exercise fast because I don't want to backslide on all my training :(

I have another 5k on the 20th. Thankfully, that one is very casual and not competitive but I'm still mad about it.

Adding into this terrible no good day; Gunter (my border collie) snatched my phone and threw it into his water bowl. I'm too darn poor to replace it so fingers crossed it's OK. My medication to treat my Atypical endometrial hyperplasia stopped yesterday and I've been feeling terrible with cramps today. My mood swings are all over the place and I'm crying at everything for no reason. Such as the SIMS 4 sale ... I've been desperate to get more expansion packs. However every single time they have a sale it is ALWAYS between paydays. I can never get them. :(

Update: I'm crying right now. Because my beautiful husband just called and told me to buy the SIMS pack that I wanted. He just used his haircut money to give me a gift.

Turning subtitles on for mobile is a little more difficult on a computer. I'm sorry for those that have not figured that out yet! I'm thinking of doing a video soon to show people how. That being said that I recap my video here! :) This is a box opening of a very special doll. It's a reborn doll. Reborns are handmade art dolls that take a lot of time and care. The dolls with hair are even more expensive as each strand is placed by hand! Pat was practicing her hair rooting skills and let me purchase one of her babies at a discount because of this. Wonderfully generous as I personally think it's all very good! Please be kind to her as she's afraid she'll be judged by the hair alone. Check out her shop to see some of her other work :)
I've named my doll Petra but I've still not chosen a middle name.

Giant List Of Alternative AND Fantasy Reborn Baby Doll Shops, Artists AND Designers!



Oh, my! Cheeky little Imp indeed! Reborned by Sami Jo Wilson-Harris 

Why is my hair orange?
Why am I a selective mute?
The world may never know 
@weathersrabbits
Merry here and welcome to my blog post!

I hope you find my list helpful as you are browsing and shopping for reborn baby dolls. I put this list together to help newbies like myself ease into the reborn world. It's helpful if you can see a lot of reborn artists and browse to get to know what you like.

When I first started looking into reborns it was very overwhelming. The best advice I had gotten was to just browse everyone and everything to see what I liked the best. It helped bring me up to speed on everything!  That's how I found out that I really like alternative reborn dolls as well as regular reborn dolls. This list does have some non-reborn artists but they are alternative friendly so I made notes of them and left them on here!

Adopt your little Monster@Cheeky Little Imp

This list is always under construction! I will add notes and worthwhile mentions to the shops on my list as needed. This is a compilation of alternatives and fantasy reborn baby dolls. That means you could see everything from fairies to zombies!



We all float down here.
Unless that's spooky and you are not into it.
TURN BACK NOW.
Do NOT look at this list if you are not comfortable with simulated gore or disturbing content.

DO NOT leave
anyone hate or negative comments because of their style of art. Sometimes when people do not understand something they use hate, fear, and use violence to combat their feelings. I hope you have evolved to be better than that and even if you disagree with the art that you will move on with your life without hurting the people who create.

Lastly, I will not tolerate slander or defaming. The people on this list have all come from a reputable source "Alternative Ghouls Art Dolls Family, Sell & Share" closed Facebook group. BUT as with anything you need to do your own research and be responsible for you. (AKA; don't blame me for anything because I'm not responsible for you or them)

Why do I want a Reborn Baby Doll?

Feeding a reborn doll! Taken by Dollie Moon Bump
When you hear doll collector what do you think of? Do images of grandmother's with rooms full of porcelain dolls fill your head? I think it's easy to want to box up and define someone this way. Most people see dolls as creepy and many people dismiss how much a simple doll could help heal a soul. 

I've been a doll collector all my life and I have heard endless amounts of comments. Sometimes they are not directed at me but at the inanimate objects, I collect. Occasionally, the disgust is actually directed at me. 

Once I commented on a Shane Dawson video expressing my want for a reborn baby like his. A few people chimed in to remind me how pathetic I am. A few people suggested that I go to counseling. 

As an infertile woman who desperately wants a child, these comments were hurtful. I'm well aware that a doll cannot replace a child but just the idea of having a small object to hold and love floods my heart with joy. 
Close up of Reborn Doll Taken by m.shattock

I don't have a reborn yet as they are very expensive. I have shopped and contacting different nurseries to build my "designer baby" as it were. Along the way, I have met some wonderful women. Each one of us has different reasons for this hobby but all of us seem to speak some sort of unspoken language and we vibrate with understanding. 

These dolls are our common ground and we comfort each other for whatever the reason. We share each other's joys as well and we bond with our dolls and others. We have all found an island of peace in a world of storms. 

I don't think wanting to collect reborns makes me 'broken' actually I think it's the opposite. It makes me feel whole. If a simple doll can do that... then why should I worry about the people who seek to tear away my happiness? 

I think it goes without saying that my reasons for wanting a realistic baby doll are obvious. I have a whole in my heart where I am missing a living child. I'm not ashamed of this feeling and I think it's totally normal. It's other people who try to make me and my feelings into something that I am not. 

Everyone wants to explain away things in a perfect little package. So, while this is MY reason for collecting these dolls please keep in mind this is not everyone's reason for collecting. Please keep that in mind if you ever encounter a person who collects these types of babies.

It has been a while since I have made a good soundscape video. Soundscapes are stories that I tell using sounds. I like to make it so you can imagine yourself at the place and be hearing all the noise. It's perfect for sleep and study! I really love these things and I used to make them just for me but occasionally people seem to like the ones I make so I try and share. This one is based on The Flash CW tv show's S.T.A.R. Labs where team Flash works to defeat evil metas.
