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 done by private PMs.  Chatting is welcome in the Share and Care forum, which is limited to PBS members, and where card showers and prayer requests 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!

Happy March Everyone from me as well! Wishing all of you, friends, a warmer and healthy new month of Spring ahead.

A kind and permanent end to Covid is always my wish along with prayers especially in this cold weather for all of God's children and animals to have a warm and loving, safe shelter. 

Item wishes that I do respectfully request are glitter free and come ftom a no smoking home are: 

Stickers that say Happy Birthday, Thank You, or Scripture.

3 Longshot wishes

100 piece jigsaw puzzle. Spring related would be great, celebration, treats, dogs, scenic. Prefer no butterflies, cats, or, or emoji type pictures. 

52x70 rectangular flannel back table cloth. 

A small Spring hanging wall decoration. 

Thank you all so much for the faith, fun, and friendship you spread in all seasons! God Bless You.

I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and the meds seemed to have helped.  I am feeling better, thank you to all who messaged and prayed!!!! Would love a few prayers for myself.  I am exhausted mentally and physically.

I'm in need of one of those giant safety-pin clasps that, back in my day, teen girls would use to keep closed the plaid/tartan skirts they were wearing.  Anyone remember those skirts, and the big pins?  Like this:

Image result for Tartan skirts Pins. Size: 158 x 185. Source: www.ebay.ca

I have a different application today I want to try with a pin like that.

:)     Thanks for reading my wish.
