Welcome to the RAOK wishes thread - more fun to be had in the RAOK!

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, you never know what will turn up here.

We must abide by PBS rules :
    You may not wish for money, or monetary donations for any charities  ( you may ask for things you collect for charities, like stamps, can tabs etc., but not for money)
    No buying or selling  or  advertising.
    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. You may not ask for free books of any kind sorry.  (Unpostables are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread)

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.  Try to pay it forward, maybe grant a wish yourself.
          Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PM between members. This keeps the threads clutter free and easy to use.   When you go to the wishes, you see wishes. In the RAOK, it's all 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, if you post wishes, be prepared to check in and answer your PMs.   It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!

           You do need to say THANK YOU.   See our monthly  *****thank you thread****, or you may acknowledge what you have received via PM to the members who granted your wishes.  This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.


Tips :
    Check the RAOK forum before you post wishes - they 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, 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 the PBS team does get involved to edit posts and accounts do get suspended.   We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

 

Please feel free to PM with any questions

Here is my Wish List:

- Weight Watchers recipes, from WW cookbooks, magazines, shared in meetings, anything like that; I am trying to get more into cooking with Weight Watchers recipes

- Anything cross stitching related, but especially patterns (any kind of patterns as I cross-stitch for the online charity LoveQuilts and a wide variety of themes are requested to be stitched, though please, no Christmas/winter/angel patterns, I'm all set on those!); I'd especially like those 'One Nighter' pamphlets 

3D puzzle or wood model or any kind of kit or model for building a model tower/building; I'd really like one of the Empire State Building but I'd be happy for anything that looks like it belongs in a modern day city; even if all the pieces aren't there or it has been used before, it doesn't matter to me, I would still be happy to have it

- Anything Doctor Who or Digimon or Marvel (Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and the like) related, I'll be happy to take if off your hands, no matter what the item is

 

I have wishes for costume pieces. I know they are long shots but it never hurts to ask, right?

- Severed hand like a Halloween decoration or a prop, size proportional to a real human hand (so no severed doll limbs or any smaller toys like that, please)

- Gas mask. The kind that sticks out from your face like a Halloween mask with a huge nozzle and two goggles for the eyes (similar to this: http://fav.me/d2stb1r ). If not exactly that, I'd take something close to it.

- Yellow (or white that can be dyed yellow) jumpsuit/full bodysuit for an adult. Perferably not skin tight, but slightly baggy. 

- Black or purple or blue witch/wizard hat for an adult, tall and pointy though collapsable for storage and travel, it's okay if it is worn and raggedy, that's the look I'm going for.

Like I said, I know it's a long shot but I figured I should just put it out there in the world :) If you have any ideas on how I can get my hands on them for cheap, I would also welcome those suggestions.

 

Thanks for reading my wish list! Happy March, everyone!

-Rubber Stamps, Stickers for decorating my packages and letters. I particularly want Skulls, Christian, Patriotic, and holiday-themed.

-Coupons for others... I'm in a few coupon train groups and we really like swapping Non-SS coupons, and there's never enough to go around, maybe you have some you dont want! (Non-SS meaning they didn't come from the newspaper- they come from magazines, tear-pads at the grocery store, right off of a product's box, etc.)

-Weight circles off of Purina dog/cat food bags (sometimes they are on treats, too!)

-I'm exchanging letters with many prison inmates, mainly young women, and I could use any nice cards, envelopes, stationary, postage stamps, etc. It's nice to send  some cheer :)

-Do you have a magazine subscription you no longer want? The doctor ordered me to bed rest and so now I have even more down-time, I'd love having things to read that can kind of keep me in touch with the world.

-Long shot but I'm looking for a long, lightweight, wide scarf or similar piece of fabric, at least 2 yards long. I have a cuddly/spoiled dog who always wants to be held, but I'm too weak right now :( I took a ratty old scarf and used it like a Moby wrap and he LOVES falling asleep in it. But my scarf has so many holes I can't trust it to fully hold his weight (he's 15 pounds).

- Last but not least, continued prayers for my family who moved to TX in January. When they first got there they were welcomed by thieves, my bro lost most of what he had, my parents have been struggling to find jobs and NOW they are dealing with mold poisoning and may have to find a new house AGAIN. :/

Thanks for looking. I'm wishing for:

I'd like it if I could get some bottle caps. The kind you use a bottle opener to get open (only most of them twist now). I have some from Orange Crush and RC Cola, but that's all I can get that we drink. I don't want any obvious beer bottle tops. I'm thinking of making some Christmas ornaments for gifts and that would be inappropriate for the recipients. Of course, if it's some "off" or "local" brand, I wouldn't know the difference anyway. wink

Coke codes

Kellogg's Family Rewards Codes
Anything "owl". I just love owls!

I can never get enough bookmarks, either! winkAnd I love stickers to put on my envelopes and packages.

Almost forgot to add coupons for puppy food! My dog is currently pregnant and will be getting spayed after her pups are gone, so any help with the puppies food will be appreciated.
