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!

Hello All- Happy Month of Spring!

My wishes this month are:

1. Prayers for the flu to leave each person who is experiencing this.

2. Prayers for continued good reports for my breast cancer and pace maker.  I have 4 doctor appointments this month.  1 month for pace maker and 6 months for cancer.

PaceMaker appointment went great.  I am now released to do what I want.  Yah!  My grandbabies better watch out, one crazy granny is going to pick them up and kiss their faces over and over.

Cancer appointment went good too.  I don't have to go back for a year!

3.  Leftover yarn.  As long as when rolled up it can make a 1 inch ball, it will have enough for my project.  If it has more, that is fine too.

4.  liquid Tide, Cascade pods, and Pepsi coupons.

My sister is the resident of the condo in the article above. She had a collection of local cookbooks from places she and her family & friends had been. Mostly the self-published fund raising kind so I hope that it is ok to request any you have & no longer want. It would be a start for her, since all she has now is her bag of vacation clothes, her dog & what winter gear I bought for her yesterday. Debbie ð

Let me know if this request is not allowed & I will delete it!

Odd request, but I am looking for a hanger for a 9" decorative plate to hang on the wall.  Anyone have one they don't need?

Does anyone have a disposable flashlight they don't need? I use them to read by when Bob is sleeping so as to not wake him up by turning on a light. I've been looking for one for weeks now and can't find any. A battery operated one ( a small one) would work but prefer a disposable one. Any help would be appreciated.

Prayers for my health please! Facing surgery soon, nervous about that, though Ive done this before. BUT, it was the most painful surgery Ive ever had, and Ive had a lot of different surgeries.  Please pray for my anxiety and that the doctors hands and minds are guided when dealing with all of this.
