This is 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 big (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 monetary donations for any charities.  You may ask for things you collect for charities, such as stamps, pop can tabs, etc., but not for money. This includes '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 use the PBS Kiosk to purchase.
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.)

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 ***I Wish*** thread, you see wishes. In the ***RAOK*** thread, it's all about things we are giving away - simple and easy. And 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 would like to remind everyone of the guidelines in the first post of this thread, which include that there is no wishing for credits and no wishing for money in the RAOK forum.  But if you wish for a gift membership or renewal, you are essentially asking someone to gift you with either money or credits, since those are the only two ways to get a membership, right?  And since February is when paid memberships started last year, it's possible that many of you will need to renew very soon.  Well, there is a way to ask for help with memberships, but it's not in RAOK.
Please, please respect the rules of these threads, and if you would like assistance with getting or renewing a membership, then go to this Book Bazaar thread instead:   Memberships in exchange for credits.  We don't want anyone to be formally reprimanded or suspended for not observing the rules, so please post (or amend your post above) in accordance with the RAOK guidelines.
Thank you.

THANK Y'ALL.

I recently fell in love with playing the uke! So if you happen to have one that's never used, forgotten and stashed away in a closet, I would love to have it. My dream is to meet up with other novice local ukulele players and help each other learn to play and jam. I am hooked!

Thank you for reading.

Happy February!

This month I'd be very grateful for:

- Any copies (old or new) of "Real Simple" or "Cooking Light" magazine (Thank you Claire for the Cooking Light!!)

- Any old movies or classic sitcoms on dvd

- Anything Tiki for my little Tiki reading room.

Thank you to everyone who participates in the RAOK forum! 

Happy February, everyone! I wish you extra love and joy this Valentine's month :)

I would still appreciate so much a kid's sized soft toothbrush with a non wide/bumpy handle. I have jaw joint issues and it is easier for me to brush with the smaller toothbursh head. Most kids brushes i am coming across have the very wide or bumpy handles which are wonderful for the young hands they are meant for, not so much for me!

I always am so grateful for any postage stamps, even one or two. I promise they will be used to spread cheer.

One last wish is for address labels. Let me know if there is a choice in design :) I would appreciate anything from Christian related to Disney or Winnie the Pooh. Flowers or cute critters, lol, I'm open. As a FYI, I am a doggie person not cats. :)

Thank you and God Bless!

My Feb. Wishes ~~~

> Codes - Pampers, Coke, & Disney

> Vegetarian recipes ( we are trying to eat less meat and are having a hard time finding yummy simple recipes )

I am always very happy to receive old jewelry pieces - broken or not - for crafting. They can be old watches, cuff links, beads, pins - pretty much anything but plastic.

From my 'alias', you can assume I enjoy all things cat - and you have assumed correctly! I also enjoy wolves, rabbits and birds, so am always eager to work these animals into my designs as well.

Thanks so much! ♥

My wishes are the same as usual:

- Bluejay, spider, or owl stuff, especially jewelry, knick-knacks, art
- yarn in the turquoise/green/blue/purple/black family -- leftover bits are fine!
- HRC (Human Rights Campaign) bumper sticker -- mine got cleaned off in repairs
- White sage smudge sticks

Thanks for looking!

My granddaughter is reading Trixie Belden books so would love some of them for her.....

Coupons for Atkins Bars/Meals, Nature Valley bars or granola, Blue Diamond Milk, Silk milk, Lean Cuisine, Hot Pockets or Lean Pockets, Cottonelle Moist Wipes.

Thanks for looking!

We just moved my Mom out of her 4 bedroom house yesterday into a one bedroom assisted living apartment.  She has been having a hard time for past few months and didn't even remember that daddy had died 2.5 years ago.  So I am asking for a shower of cards for her to welcome her to her new 'home'.......either  ones with words of encouragement, 'thinking of you', or 'housewarming'......even a Valentine would be nice.  You can PM me for her new address and include in your signature that you are a 'bookclub friend of Jeanne's'.  She probably won't remember to tell me each one she receives so my gratitude here will have to suffice.  

As always, I can use:

Kellogg's Rewards Codes

Boxtops and Campbell's labels for Education (no children or grandchildren in school now, but I give them to a local school)

Coupons for diapers for my 2 grandsons in MD-- they are aged  21 months and 4 months so we need multiple sizes. Cole also loves Cheerios so coupons for those would help too!

My wishes for February:

- Dog toys

- any makeup coupons

- any makeup samples

- Nail polish

- Yoga workout DVDs

- Taebo workout DVDs

for my grandmother: 

- Thomas Kinkade Disney Puzzles (we are searching for: Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, Lady & the Tramp,the NEWEST Little Mermaid)

- any Disney Beauty and the Beast items
