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!

My MIL, Donna, who lives in senior apartment in an assisted living center in southern IL, fell getting out of bed Saturday morn. Nurses checked and said 'she's ok", but phone call to check on her that afternoon revealed she was in pain so I asked that she be taken to hospital-- left ankle is broken. She has a temp cast that goes up to mid-knee so she has great difficulty getting around though I had a wheelchair brought to her room.  She needs PT to train her how to use it......so she hasn't left her room yet.    That's on top of her calling us TH night to report damage to her car.....she thought someone had hit her but the parking lot has no slots that have a car facing your car and she parks in a handicapped slot with a sign in front of her and none of them are damaged. all the damage is to the front and corners near bumper with yellow paint on the scratched areas so it looks like she hit something big on the front and right side then tried to back up and then scraped something on the left side. Per insurance company's request, I called around to the places she had run errands and shopped but no one had any report of damage to any signs or posts----- only thing remaining is her trip to a clinic at a hospital and I haven't been able to reach someone who could address such a concern.  She can't tell us where, exactly when, or how the damage happened.  Pursuing evaluation to see if it's time to pull her license.  She turned 90 in January and insurance company doesn't want to inusre her anymore.

More prayers-- first time in 2 years!--- married daugher, Anastasia, who lives in MD has 4 of the 5 family members sick.....3 have tested postivie for covid-- all but the sick 4 year old have had all their shots. Please pray for mild cases and that the healthy 7 year old remains so and can be of some help while the others recover-- I know he won't be happy to be in quarantine again (several exposures over the past 15 months) when he is not sick. 

Prayers for healing our country and the world.

Have been received some smoky books.  Does anyone know how to remove that ordor.  Books are in excellent shape otherwise.  Hope someone can help me.  Three people responed with three different methods so I will try the first with charcoal.  If that doesn't work I have two more methods to check out.  Thanks so much friends;  Just received a fourth recommendation.  Thanks all.

Help for the people from the Ukraine who have lost their homes, family members and their  livlihoods.  Red Cross is one place to donate - all you need to do is designate where you want funds to go.

First and foremost, extra  and prayers for our country and world
