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, 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!

Happy July everyone. Hope it's a great month for everyone.

My wishes this month are:

Black cherry koolaid packs (for Bob). He loves it but it's hard to find around here. (The kind where you add your own sugar)

Pretty stickers with clear backs to decorate my envelopes with. Prefer flowers or butterflies, or Summer themed.

 

Thanks everyone

My wishes: 

For Jeanne to have safe travels and a great visit with her family.

Prayers for all those who have had crazy storms, heat and rain this summer.  It seems to be nationwide.

Prayers for my nieces who are traveling back to Malawi and Germany after their sisters wedding.

Prayers for our nation as we seem to be trying to tear ourselves apart at the seams.

Prayers for a friend who is having it tough with her work situation and looking for a new job.

Still looking for old jewelry to play with on my crafting table. I have all of the pearls and plastics I can use at this time.  Also love wooden pieces...tokens, game pieces, whatever.

Thanks for looking!

I know this is a long shot but if anyone has either of these on dvd or even vhs that would be great! Gilad’s Total Body Sculpt or Bodies in Motion workout videos. I actually do these and they work for me. Thanks much!

Last month I asked for prayers for me on the new job I started on June 17th. Well, somebody got serious with that prayer, because it has been going very well! Thank you so much. <3 

In the next few days I will be moving into my very own cubicle. The last time I had my very own work space that I could decorate was in about 2004! Anyway, so it's small and humble, but I definitely want to make it my own. So this month I am wishing for any small item to personalize/decorate my tiny work cubicle—a postcard or photo, a small figurine, a quote or Bible verse, a pretty artificial plant (used would be fine), etc.  Things I like include succulents, sunflowers,  freshwater turtles, novel office supplies, folklore, vintage; I tend more towards the quirky than the cute. (For more ideas, see my PBS profile, but  please don't feel limited by what I mention.) 

Edited to add: Thrift store or other pre-owned items are gladly accepted!

I’m starting a new teaching job this fall (teaching elementary school level science and math), and would love to receive anything that would be useful in my classroom. Motivational posters, unpostable children’s science books, math manipulatives and games or similar would all be appreciated. 

Many thanks for reading and considering.

just thought of one!

i like to make blankets as gifts and I would start with fleece fabric and cover the edges with fleece binding. But I can’t find the fleece binding any more, so if anyone just randomly happens to have some, that would be fantastic!
