REMINDER:  The RAOK forum is open to the public, not just to PBS members.  To protect your privacy, the 3 monthly recurring threads are intended to be limited to just what their titles say - Wishes, RAOK offers, and Thanks for wishes granted.  In other words, the posts in these 3 threads should be originating messages only.  Responses to, or chat about, those posts should be by private PMs.  Chatting is welcome in the Share and Care forum, which is limited to PBS members, and where card showers and prayer chains are available for anyone who asks for support.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Wishes thread, where we post our wishes - maybe things we collect, something we can no longer find in our area, things we have always wanted etc, etc. No wish is too unusual (though common sense is appreciated!); you never know what will turn up.

We must all abide by these PBS rules :
You may not wish for money or money-like items such as gift cards, or for monetary donations for any charities.  You may ask for things you collect for charities, such as cancelled stamps, pop can tabs, etc., but you may not solicit funding. This includes donations for GoFundMe and other fund-raising events.
No buying or selling or advertising. No spam posts.
No wishing for credits.  Credits are bought, sold and loaned only in the Book Bazaar forum, or you may use the PBS Kiosk to purchase them.
Do NOT ask for books, since books are swapped on the site and book deals are made in the Book Bazaar. Sorry, but you may not ask for free books of any kind. (Unpostable books are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread.  There is also a Damaged/Unpostable Virtual Box in the Games forum.  New participants are welcome!)

Our own RAOK rules: 
Please do not offer payment for the things you are sent, including postage. RAOKs are given freely, asking nothing in return except a thank you. You could pay it forward by granting a wish yourself.
Please limit your wishes to no more than 10. Lists could get very long. You can always edit as you go along.
Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PMs between members. This keeps the threads clutter-free and easy to use. When you come to this ***Wishes*** thread, you see wishes. In the ***RAOK*** thread, it's all about things we are giving away - simple and easy. And to protect your privacy, please do not post your address in the thread - it's all done via PM.
Please check in and answer your PMs. It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!
PLEASE say THANK YOU to the person who grants your wish.  You may use our monthly ***Thank You*** thread, or you may acknowledge what you have received via a personal PM to the member(s) who granted your wishes. This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.

Tips:
Check the RAOK thread before you post wishes -- the thing you want may already be there for the asking!  If you see a wish you can grant, just PM the poster for their address.
And please remember, if one of the moderators contacts you about a posting, then we are only trying to keep the forum running smoothly and according to PBS rules. If you are asked to change, move, or delete your post, please do so. Most of you know that the PBS team does get involved to edit posts, and accounts do get suspended, if rules are broken. We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me.  I wish that your wish(es) will be granted!

Please send positive thoughts and prayers as I get some medical test results back on Thursday.  (Test results were not what I wanted to hear.  I will be having surgery on Tuesday, August 7th, for lump removal and lymph node examination.)  More prayers needed.

Prayers for my son who is applying for a new job, closer to home.  (Seth started his jnew job today.  Prayers worked.)

Hello everyone!

Its High School for the first time here, so for my daughter if you have any extras we would be grateful!

Mechanical pencils (she goes through these fast and the leads break often but they are the best)

Packs of loose leaf paper

1 inch binders any color

Algebra graph paper

Locker decor-cute magnets ect..

Any shirts in Medium or Large

Size 10 or even 11 skinny jeans-need badly

Thanks for looking!

Happy August !

My wishes this month are:

1) Curel X-strength lotion for extremely dry skin ( it's the only one that really seems to work on Bob's legs as he has bad edema on them)

2) Men's White V-neck short sleeve tee shirts in size 3xL (or XXXLG.). Bob goes thru these a lot and it's all he wants to wear. And his birthday is coming up and he'd sure appreciate some more.

3) This is my birthday month (20th, I'll be 62) and I'm asking for apple cinnamon tea (Celestral Seasonings only please) or Very Berry teas of the same brand. Also would love any International brand instant coffees in either hazelnut or French vanilla.

4) Extreme wish I hope for: # 61 HP printer ink in both black and tricolor

Thanks to anyone that can grant these wishes. If you can't do any but #1 & # 2, I'll still be very thankful. Hubby needs those worse than I need my personal wishes.

Boxtops for Ed

I will be gone for half of August so won't be able to thank everyone until I open mail upon my return.

My wishes are:

1.Cotton tan socks-I use these for work and they are hard to find for some odd reason.

2. Coupons-any you have extra of and any internet coupons you can't use.I do appreciate what I do get and try to use as many as I can and my mom does too.:)

3. Any size 7 costume rings

4. Anything Coca-Cola-can be recipes,ads,etc.

5. Anything Wonder woman!

6. Any kind of cherry decor or jewelry.

7. Dvds-anything but horror-will gladly take without a case or artwork.

Thanks for reading. Post your odd or unique wishes. I may be able to help you out. I hope to do more cleaning after next week.:)

I have an odd request - does anyone have some leather pieces they won't be using? Or - maybe even some leather that can be re-purposed?

Thanks for your help! ♥

August wishes:washi tape[any kind] clear packing tape[use to get it from walmart but not one close anymore and I hate the stuff from dollar tree] anything Star Wars related.

I made this same wish for May and was gifted some much-loved music by a couple of people. I thought I'd try again:

• I wish for cassette tapes with music on them (either originals or "mix tapes"). My car is a 2002 Honda Accord and has both a dvd player and a cassette tape deck. I remember way back when when cassettes in the car were new-fangled. lol  I'd love to relive my youth this summer by playing some tapes in the car.  I like most genres of music: rock, pop, classical, country, show tunes, gospel/hymns, Christmas tunes, world music, instrumental, blues, funk, folk, Latin/Caribbean, ballroom dance, Gregorian chant, New Age, even disco!  (Not so much kiddie music, jazz, rap, or reggaeton.) 
• I would also be grateful for any Tom Petty music (either as a soloist, with the Heartbreakers, with the Traveling Wilbury's, etc.) either on dvd or cassette. I used to own almost all of his work, but after a couple of moves do not have it anymore, and I miss my occasional Tom Petty fixes. Maybe it´s the fact that he passed last fall that has me nostalgic. Anyway, Thank you in advance!

Looking for anything pandas or unicorns

As well as any Lisa Frank paper stationery

Thank you :-)

i wish for any cd's of maroon 5. real or burned, makes no difference. thanks for considering.

also coke codes.

One of the gutters on our new house is broken, so I am hoping to make a rain chain to direct the water. Any large beads that could withstand the weather would be appreciated; I'd prefer to make this from gifted items since it will be next to my garden of flowers filled with plants from friends. Thanks for your consideration!

Debbie

Coupons for Activia (or any lactose free yogurt),Lactaid, Lean Cuisine or Marie Callender's frozen meals, Icy Hot patches.

Okay ladies, I have kind of a BIG wish, but I’m gonna throw it out there anyhow. I’m in need of a mortar & pestle if anyone has one they no longer use stuck away in a cabinet somewhere.   Thanks
