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!

First and foremost always, prayers that each of you enjoy a happy, healthy, and safe July! 

Two picture requests: First, do any of you have a dog who loves popcorn? If so, please PM me for more info. I need a picture of one such canine friend for a story I'm writing to be included in a book. Second, do any of you have any pictures of sky-writing? I am in need of a picture of a skywritten image of either the word "LOVE" or a Heart or Cross shape. These would all need to be photos you personally took and NOT internet found images. I would need them within ideally within the next week! I'd give you my email address. 

From Dollar Tree, I would appreciate: a crossword puzzle book for my Dad. He is not into Fill-ins or any other type, just enjoys crosswords, especially the Kappa brand from the Tree. 

From Michaels for Me: I had ordered (and passed onto friends on here) Ice Cream Shop sticker pad. Go to Amazon and enter in this# you'll see what I mean exactly: B007WDSSH0 These are the stickers I was expecting. What I received was not! :( What I got were the ice cream treats with Shopkins-style (which I do not care for at all) faces. These are the $1 Darice sticker pads. I'd really appreciate anyone going to Michaels anyway, please don't make a special trip, to see whether your store has what had I had in mind. Wish already granted! Thank you so much. 

In general: Narrow washi tape (summer print or flowers or cool treats, something bright and cheerful. Please no butterflies or pina coladas--I have seen a lot of those on tapes and stickers, I don't drink). I could also use some general summer season fun stickers. Summer is currently the only season I don't have many stickers for. 

I respectfully always request that any items sent to me come from a non smoking home. 

Thank you and God Bless You!

Continued prayers for our country.

Continued  prayers for my dad as he is getting through therapy and getting stronger.

Prayers for my brother who will be having treatment for colon and liver cancer starting July 6th.  He is a non smoker, non drinker and definitely believes in the power of prayer so all prayers are more than welcome.

Artificial flowers and leaves.  Scraps and loose petals from old arrangements.  With or without stems.

I remake these bits into wreaths.  It is a stress reliever.  If they weren't so expensive to ship, I'd put them up as RAOKs.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy rest of the month. Tell someone you love them. You may be the only one they hear it from and will make their day much brighter.

Hi!

I would like LEGOS (brand name). It is for my grandson. Any amount however small in quantity is fine. P.S. Not DUPLO (the larger blocks for toddlers).

Thanks!!

I’m needing several of the tiny syrup bottles that you get from Cracker Barrel. I do need them to have their caps. Thanks

More prayers are needed, if you'd all be so kind. More issues I know noone wants or needs to hear. I'm no worse off than I was. Just another major disappointment, but otherwise I am ok. But prayers are always welcome to help my stress level, so thank you.
