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!

Prayers that our move goes easily for us both. We're only moving 3 miles but I'm having to do everything pretty much myself as Bob can't help much and I'm just praying my back holds out. We know the apt. complex, but won't know the actual mailing address for a few more days since we haven't been assigned an apt. yet.

A special request that hopefully will be granted after Feb. 15th ( once I know our new mailing address): I'm in serious need of a bra that fits. The ones I have are either too big or too small. I badly need a size 44-D. I don't care what color it is. I just need one that fits.

Thanks to anyone that can grant this special wish.

Happy Valentine's Day to all :)

I wish for two packages of Avery labels. I go through them, particularly the bigger ones in the second link, for labelling church choir music. CVS sells both sizes for $1.77. Often CVS will send a coupon off one item each week. It can still add up. 

https://www.avery.com/products/labels/6721 (smaller labels package of 525) I don't use these as much. 

 https://www.avery.com/products/labels/6724  (Bigger labels package of 180) I can sometimes go through a package of these in one week! 

Thank you! God Bless You :) As a P.S. I feel badly aboput stating this but I do need the labels to come from a non smoking home. Thanks!

If anyone out there is willing to send my daughter a cheerful card it would mean a lot to me.  She's on the autism spectrum and suffers from anxiety and she's had a really hard time lately.  She was just snubbed at a birthday party and forgotten on Valentine's Day and she just feels like no one cares.  It's breaking my heart.  She's never had it easy but the older she gets, the harder it gets.

This thread is now closed.  Please switch to the March Wishes thread to let us know what favor we can do for you, what item you can't do without but can't find in your area, or some other heart's desire.  You never know what treasures someone else may be looking to re-home, or have easy access to!
