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 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.)

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!

I'd like to experiment with essential oils, especially lemon, lime, peppermint and lavender.  I believe I only need a few drops of each, so if you're nearly finished with a bottle, I'd be happy to take the last of it off your handsI've been blessed.

Editing to add because I did find coupon organizers, thank you for looking!

I am still looking for Teddy Bear Miniature stickers: https://www.christianbook.com/stickers-teddy-bear-miniature/9781414394503/pd/731437?dv=%7Bdevice%7D&en=google&event=SHOP&kw=ingram-0-20%7C731437&p=1179710&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwo6-ibSk2QIVkVp-Ch3eawOKEAQYBSABEgJTSfD_BwE I ordered them back in December from Christian Book and they are still not available. PLEASE do not pay amazon's price for them though! Just should you see them elsewhere. 

Any cute teddy bear stickers always welcome :) Maybe some spring-y ones? 

One last edit to add in a Wish: I would appreciate so much a nice (better quaility than the two I got from the 99 cent only store)  stapler for church choir use. It does not need to be full sized, in fact would prefer smaller! Just as I said a little heavier duty than the dollar one. 

Have a good night. God Bless You.

I posted on facebook but i dont know how many of you are on my facebook page.

whatever your beliefs... i need PRAYERS.

my brother robert age 68 

had a stroke on feb 2. Fell down stairs at work. Split his skull and broke his arm and hurt his eye socket.

he got out of immediate ICU feb 11 but he is still on the same floor/unit. It took him days to wake up. 

he can move his legs and arms and does remember some things but his speech is slurred and very quiet low.

today they did surgery on his wrist. 

So a little prayer sure could help.

for Robert . And for my mom Esther who just turned 92 and is heartbroken to see him like that.

thank you

Dear RAOKers,
Your immediate outpouring of prayers shows just how caring the people around here are.  Once again, though, I would like to remind you that responses to wishes for prayers should be made by PM to the person wishing or by using the Share and Care forum prayer threads.  This thread is for posting wishes.  Thanks!
