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, postage, 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!

I wish for prayers that each person have a happy, healthy and safe New Year.  

I wish that we each do a nice random thing for someone else each week of January.

I wish for prayers to help our country work together for the betterment of all people.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT:   I had my 3 month checkup today after my cancer surgery and radiation.  All blood work came back according to my doctor as best as anyone can ask for.  For some reason my cholestrol came down just a little too which is wild since I have never had my cholestrol come down, it is always high.  No signs of any cancer and all is healed and well!!!!!!  All those prayers sent were answered for me!!!! Thank you!

 

 

I also wish for Pepsi, Tide and Snuggle coupons.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I hope everyone's wishes get granted this month.

One extra wish before the month is out.

I badly need a size 44-D bra. The ones I have are either too small or way too big. And between getting my dentures and now the move we're having to make in 3 weeks, there's just no extra money to buy anything else. So if anyone could help me out, I'd sure appreciate it.

Happy New Year to all and always thank you for your friendships! Thank you for all the smiles and caee you share and send, to so many, too! 

I am always looking for a discontinued design of 3oz Dixie cups that look like: https://www.amazon.com/Dixie-Bathroom-Cups-Assorted-designs/dp/B002T5DP0G I am not finding online a picture of this same product in a blue box but they do come one. These animals are fun and always bring me a smile. Please DO NOT spend almost $8 on Amazon for one box! 

Would love some new cute teddy bear and mini Cross stickers. No glitter or scented stickers please. 

Adding one more Wish of Birthday postcards.

Thank you and God Bless You. Happy, Happy New Year :)

Hi!

If you are getting rid of your Holiday cards, I will take the fronts to repurpose into gift tags and/or bookmarks.

If anyone has any extra buttons laying around, I'd love to give them a new home.  I use them on my crochet animals sometimes.

Have some on the way to me.  Thank you!

Any sort of souvenir cotton dish towel/tea towel from anywhere. I have purchased a few of these at thrift stores for around a dollar each (apparently people buy them as souvenirs and then don’t actually use them most of the time), and have come to love them. It doesn’t matter that I’ve never been to the location featured; I get to travel around the world each time I do something in the kitchen! New or used, retro or modern is fine, as long as they are not badly stained or full of holes (small stains/imperfections are no problem). I will be joyfully using any towel I may get.

I wish for sewing patterns for women's peasant tops.  Anything in the 14 to 18 size range will do - I should be able to resize it to my needs.

Found, thank you! :)
