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!

Happy June everyone. Hope it's a good month for you.

My wishes for this month are:

If anyone has any spare sleeveless tops in a 2XL I could sure use them. If they are tunic length, even better. I prefer tops to cover my butt whenever possible. Short sleeves are ok too but do prefer sleeveless as I wear them year round and they're just more comfortable to me. I'm at the point now where shopping for clothes for myself isn't an option. Money is just too tight now. Recieved and recieving, thank you !!

Thanks for anything you can do to help.

Coupons for Wendy's, Panera's, Culvers. I eat out on days I volunteer all day  (Tu and Wed) and with gas prices so high saving at lunchtime helps.

Happy June everyone!

Prayers always for us as a world to choose to live in kind, compassion and peace! 

I could use some summer and always Scripture stickers. 

Anyone going to the Dollar Tree? I could use a couple of glasses cases that they normally have on display up front for summer. I am wanting the microfiber drawstring bag type not the soft zippered cases.

New wishes added for a package of cute summer themed napkins.  I would also, appreciate, always 100-piece puzzles from the Tree (usually Puzzle Big brand) I would ideally love something scenic or dogs (no cats or butterlfiies), treats, ballloons, etc. We are doing lollipop print pizzle right now so should you see this one we already have it. Due to the pandemic, I do ask that both napkins and puzzles be brand new and in their original box/cellophane wrap. 

I also respectfully request anything sent to me comes from a nonsmoking home. 

Thank you all so much for looking. God Bless You. My sincerest appreciation always to everyone in RAOK for spreading kind cheer to us al!

  1. Encouraging mail with a BIBLE verse about healing.

  2. Blank unused postcard with a map as the main theme.  (any blank unused postcards will get used, but low on this theme) 

  3. Address labels with CQ5/AZMOM875 on them, so I don't have to write it.

  4. Sick of your craft supplies, send me your destash.  I will pass along what I cant use.  

  5. Blank small sticky labels. They tend to come in bright neon colors. I need those for the back of atc coins or atcs made on a playing card. I use to buy them at CVS but cant find them locally, since I moved.

  6. Canceled postage stamps : the giving tree,  Lunar new year tiger or any other lunar new year,   TIGER endangered species card,  Monster forevers, cactus

  7. eye hooks.  And 6 jenga blocks,  beads.   I want to make  some jenga block dolls  for this swap Jenga Block People – Due July 21 some dolls can be seen in the link.  Got any goodies to help me?  See the photos.

Wish granted!   Thank you!

I am in need of an opaque cloth bag to hold a set of mah jongg tiles.
The bag can be either zippered or draw-string.  

I'd prefer it to be around  9-10 inches square, so not huge or too small.  

Most importantly, it must be opaque, completely non-see-through.

Thank you for reading my wish!

Happy June!

This month I'm looking for new, used, loose, random or whole decks of playing cards.  My nephew and I have been trading them to create Franken Decks and I also use them in journaling and other crafts.  We don't need any plain red or blue Bicycle decks at this time.

Thank you!

I try to take items once or twice a month to my local ‘blessing boxes’ for the homeless & underprivileged and would appreciate any of the following...

*** Small hotel/travel/sample size toiletries. Bar soap, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Even if you have empty or partially used mini bottles I can clean & refill them.

*** Socks are always a huge need, so any new or like new adult socks.

*** Winter items ~~~ scarves (winter type, not fashion), knit hats, gloves, thermal underwear/long johns.

*** Mini sewing kits *** Mini First Aid kits

*** Fast food gift cards. Any chain eateries gift card with a small remaining balance that can get them a cup of coffee or a sandwich, etc. I can usually add a couple of bucks to these so they can get a meal.

Many of these items can be a bit bulky & pricey to mail, so if you have any of these types of items & cannot afford to mail them to me at least consider finding the Blessing Box/Mini Pantry/Helping Hand Box in your community & share them there. 

And lastly for myself... scraps of fancy yarns at least 10” long. Not just your everyday run of the mill yarn, but something unusual like eyelash yarn or curly yarn, etc.  Also very narrow 1/4” or less ribbon. I use these to make tassels for bookmarks.

I would like to know who to contact to bet better service from Frontier Internet Service.  I have called several times over the last couple of days and have been lied to multiple times, had things changed with a work order that I did not authorize, was told "So Sad, So Bad" and "No Harm, No Foul", just to name a few things.  I will be making complaints to the BBB, the Attorney General and am looking for who else I need to reach out to with the problem.  We have no other service unless I get in line to wait for Starlink (I think that is the name of the new Elon Musk internet) where I live.  Thank you for any information you can help me with.
