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.  To protect your privacy, please do not post your addresses in these threads - we recommend that you ask people to PM for your address.  Thanks!
_________________________________________________________________________________________

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. 

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 just happen to still be up and visiting here.  :)

My wishes for this month are for stationary, writing paper, or note pads I can write friends on.  

Prayers and positive thoughts as i have had a very painful health battle going on since January.  Not sure what the next step will be.  Praying for Mona and my dear friends here.  Hugs to everyone!  

Happy April Everyone! Hope it's a good month for all.

My wishes for this month are:

Am always on the lookout for pretty stationary/envelopes, and clear backed pretty stickers. Prefer flowers, butterflies, or seasonal themes. No glitter please and none of those that puff up. They tend to tear the envelopes going thru the post office or else come off completely. I use the stickers to decorate my envelopes.

Thanks to anyone that can grant my wish, especially the brace, as it's really needed. Hope your wishes come true.

FYI everyone: I've got Vicki B. covered for the brace.

It's my birthday month. I appreciate any happy mail, or good thoughts sent my way.  I had good news last month at the doctor, so continued thoughts/prayers for staying healthy.

Recovery and getting out of this horrible facility asap+ prayers. Dad prayers appreciated also more than I can say. 

Dad has been looking for purse sized packages of Kleenex. They are handy for on the go. Dollar Tree used to sell them in 6 or 8 pack. Target used to have both Kleenex and Up&Up Brand of this item. We would want 3 ply. Wish granted. 

New wish added 4-5 Target will have on sale starting tomorrow a stuffed animal piece of carrot cake. Dad enjoys real carrot and I'd love to make him smile with this cute piece of cake until I am able to get him the food version. Please PM me if you get this for me so I know to have dad look out for it :) Wish granted.

Thank you friends so very much.

New wish just added on Saturday 4-5.

Asking for prayers and good wishes for my very good friend Joyce in KS. Just heard she is in ICU with possible  stroke. I don't want to lose her, but also want what's best for her. Please send some extra thoughts her way, thanks.

I will be participating in May but will be a bit delayed in mailing.  My wish is for prayers as I am having my pacemaker replaced on May 7th due it malfunctioning.
