This is where we post things we would like,(except money requests, credits or books).   Please remember that we do not offer money for items we wish   for because that is against PBS rules .  You may not ask for money for charity, for postage, nothing monetary, please.  It  also lessens the spirit of this thread and the forum. If you receive, try to give. Sometimes the littlest things can bring a smile.

Please understand that the RAOK forum follows the PBS rules. This means -
1) NO buying or selling allowed in the RAOK
2) You may not ask for credits. Credits are sold or borrowed in the Book Bazaar. You are not allowed to ask for gifts of     credits on PBS.
3) No solicitation for any charity is allowed on this site.  You may ask for things you collect for charities (like can tabs, stamps), but no financial solicitation is allowed.

4) Please do not offer to pay for your wish, or for the postage to send it. The RAOK is meant  as a simple act of kindness, nothing in return...but a thank you.

     If one of us writes to you about something you have requested, it is only to inform you that the request is not what this thread is about. If you wish to leave your request in this thread, that is up to you, but it will be edited by the PBS team..........they  do suspend accounts at times.   Don't take that chance, please edit or remove as we ask. We like to take care of this forum ourselves, without the team removing posts!!

First: Remember: this is the place to wish. We all have wishes. If you feel someone has asked for something too large, expensive or extravagant, just ignore. Please be kind. Don't make someone feel badly. None of us know someone else's circumstances, unless we ask...........................For those of us asking, let's remember this is NOT a place to stock pantries, get all our presents for others, etc. It's a place for members to wish for items for themselves and immediate family. Also, PBS rules do not allow one to ask for money, even for charities, here. You may ask for other items, such as stamps and boxtops, etc.

Here, you list a few things you like/collect/can use. Obviously, we all like certain things like  wish-list books, etc. This is NOT for that kind of thing. This is for things others might have around the house that you can use (for instance if you collect postcards, bookmarks, Coke codes, or if there's a candy you love you can't find in your area, etc). 

Please limit your list to about 10 items. Some lists are getting very long. (Remember, you can edit your list), and if someone PMs you for your address, please acknowledge and thank them when you receive whatever they send you. There is a separate thank you thread so we can keep this one clean and easy to read. It can get jumbled and hard to read with extra clutter so if we can do our best to keep it to our requests and the rare bump, that would be awesome :) It's important to thank everyone who send something either by PM and or the thank you thread so that we know the item arrived. Members do not want to send things, continously, to others who do not let them know the items have arrived.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

I'm wishing for

- Calendars (from any year) with pictures on them to make into envelopes.  The pictures should be at least the size of regular office paper, although larger is great, too.

- Hardanger patterns

- Peace, health, happiness and prosperity for all!

  • Anything related to Elmo, Cookie Monster, Sesame Street characters, Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, Kipper and anything related to "I Spy."  My son loves all of them.

  • My son really likes GI Joe.  I would love to get him some of their toys/characters if anybody has any they no longer want.

  • Anything preschoolish (educational) and/or dealing with sign language for kids.  My son has "school" with me and we always are looking for new things to try.  :-)  Educational flashcard or small flipcharts:  early math (counting), english (phonics, etc.), colors, shapes. opposites, etc.

  • I'm looking for things that will entertain my son (2-year old) for long amounts of time in the car.  For Christmas, relatives bought him a basic "my first leap pad" and a "leapfrog tag junior."  I would like to get some my first leap pad books & cartridges (ages 2-4 preferably), books to the leapfrog tag junior, a doodle pro, stickers, anything else you may think of that would work for a 2 year old.  Even if you don't have anything, but have some ideas of things that could help, please PM me.

  • Coupons for Johnson-Johnson body lotion or body wash, Vicks vapo pad refills & vicks liquid refill, baby supplies (diapers, wipes, etc.), doritos, pediacare (infants/children acetametaphine medicine).  Coupons to McDonalds, Arby's, Chili's, or Texas Roadhouse.

  • II work with children at church, and we are looking to be missionaries in the near future so I would love to get any ABeka flashcard (flash-a-card) stories - Bible stories especially, but also missions & practical/character stories, song visuals, and Bible verse visuals (KJV)  to use in our ministry.

Thanks to those who have granted wishes in the past.  There have been so many kind people on here and so many generous.  Thanks to you all.  You know who you are!!  :-D
