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 stamps, 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!

More prayers for Chuck,  his doctors gave him a huge surprise decision to make after the New Year and has a lot of praying and learning to do in order to make the decision.  Prayers that if Chuck makes the decision that I can be of help to him with the decision made.  Chuck's decision has not been made and is huge for the whole family.  He may be a candidate in an experimental liver transplant.  (I found out recently that his cancer doc was the doc on call for Pres. Obama so I am prayful that he is in good hands.)

Continued prayers that our country will find peace within our boundaries (at least).

**A  REALLY LONG LONG SHOT -  JoAnn Fabrics Limited Edition Quilt Block Kit or Pattern from April 1996.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My wishes this month are:

Pretty stickers (no glitter please) like flowers, angels, etc. More adult style instead of childish ones. No teaching ones please.

Thanks to all that can help me out.

Hi, Does anyone have any extra file tabs that go on the top of hanging files?   I could use some - they don't have to be new.

Thank you!

Happy New Year! Thank you all for another year of sharing faith friendship, and encouraging cheer through our wonderful RAOK forum. Thank you, always, to Claire and Jeanne for all they do for each of us year-round! Each of you, make a difference to me and our world at large through your kindness. I appreciate you :)

Prayers for each of you to grow in faith, be happy, healthy, and at peace this new year and always. Prayers for a kind and permenant end to Covid. Prayers for all human and critter alike to have a safe, warm shelter, necessities, and to know they are loved. 

ETA a few extra wishes. I would still love for anyone interested to please PM me about contributing to a Christian nonfiction book of short stories and experiences. ANY length contribution would be most welcome.It can be an experience from your past or present times. On a related note, do any of you have either children or grandkids who like to draw? I would also greatly appreciate two kid drawn illustrations for stories I have written for this book, Please be assured privacy is something I value tremendously! I am asking all contributors to only use their first name or even an alias first name. Pray and think about it and PM me please for more information. 

Item wishes that I would truly appreciate are a large print with alphabet tabs telpehone address book. Something similar to this link but ideally with a much more cheerful cover https://www.amazon.com/PlanAhead-Bigger-Telephone-Address-Assorted/dp/B008W2KRCE?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=AG7Q4U66JTMU1&th=1 

Would also love any festive paper plates especially in a smaller 6 inch size. Birthday or seasonal. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I would need these to be brand new and in their original wrapping. 

4X6 scratch paper in very light pastel colors. 

Do any of you have a nearby Christmas ornament or decor shop that might be having a sale right now? Please PM me if you do. 

i do respectfully as always request any items sent to me to be coming from a smoke free home. 

Thank you so much. God Bless You!

I'm looking for a small calendar card, about 3.5x8.5.  It's a kind companies use as marketing, so maybe you work in an office and have gotten these from vendors, or work for a company that sends them out?  I only need one, and don't care about the format as much as the size.
I was hoping I could post a picture of samples here, but can't see how to that.

Happy New Year!

I have a random, long-shot request.  Does anyone still have the sticker sheets included with the McDonald's Happy Meals from Halloween?  They were included with the buckets that came out in October - a pumpkin, ghost and green goblin.  I was collecting buckets and stickers for my neighbor kids and nephew and didn't realize we fell short of getting everyone a complete set.  It's not the end of the world, but just in case you are cleaning out a drawer and come across extra stickers.  I would love to have them.  

Thank you!

I would like to make some flowers using fabric and floral wire and tape for my paprents graves for Memorial Day. I know that is a long ways away, but it gives me plenty of time to get them done.I have fabric to make some for my dad, but am in need of a few for my mom.  I am looking for scraps of fabric with small designs. It may be a long shot, but I am looking for fabrics with angels, Santas, crochet needles and yarn (no knitting), sewing machines, and McDonalds or a hamburger. (my mom loveda McD's hamburger) I am only looking for scraps just big enough for me to get at least six 3 inch circles from. I will appreciate any help with this. Thanks for looking.
