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 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.  There is also a Damaged/Unpostable Virtual Box in the Games forum.  New participants are welcome!)

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!

Added wish:  Please keep me in your thoughts especially on Monday.  I will be having my 5 year check up and hopefully release from visiting the cancer center every 3 months.  (well good and not good.  I had the checkup and no sign of cancer however I have one more appointment to go in Nov and then if all is still the same, no more meds and just diligence in self-exams and the mammos.)

Dealing with some new health issues has me feeling down. Would like to wish for prayers, and happy mail. Anything like bookmarks, postcards, and things like that. Thanks so much and have a great day!

Happy February!

May each of you this extra month of love grow in faith and know you are loved by God and appreciated also by me! I pray always for a kind and eprmaent end to this pandemic along with all people and critters alike to have a safe, warm, and kind home with needed clothing and other necessities plus, of course, support and love. I thank each of you for all the care you give to make a difference to so many including, always, me. 

Please reach out to someone either through a call, card, text, email, PM, or all of the above, of course, in person works, too, and remind them you care! 

Item Wishes this month:

Seasonal and celebratory paper plates especially dessert size and napkins, too. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I would need either of these items to be rand new and come in their original packaging. St. Patrick's Day is not needed. 

The only stickers or envelope seals I need (please send other stickers to someone else) are ones that say "Happy Birthday," "Happy Valentine's Day," "Happy Thanksgiving," etc. on them. 

Blank Birthday and other cards.

Bright but light pink, green, or yellow 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock paper. 

I would always appreciate a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle. Prefer celebration, teddy bear, dogs, flowers. No cats or butterflies. 

Telephone Address Book with alphabet tabs that is a good 5X7+ and large print. 

Spring hanging wall decoration that is glitter free! I prefer nothing that says "Hello Spring" or that has butterflies on it. 

Longshot Wish is I am still looking for a couple of harder to find Christmas items if any of you do have a Christmas ornament/decoration store out your way please PM me. 

I do request as always anything sent to me comes from a no smoking home. Thank you and God Bless You!

Happy February to everyone!  

My wish is for paper napkins.  Any holiday, decor, color is great!  Cocktail size or larger is fine too.  

Thank you to anyone who can send some my way.  :)
