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.  To protect your privacy, please do not post your addresses in these threads - we prefer that you ask people to PM for your address.  Thanks!
_________________________________________________________________________________________

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!

First and foremost, I wish that each of us find a peace within our world that we can live with during these trying times.

Empty plastic tic tac containers.

Continued prayers for my brother who is beating the odds of his cancer at the moment.  Those prayers are working.

Happy May my friends. Hope it's a wonderful month for all.

This month, like every month, I can use pretty unlined stationary. I write a lot of letters every month so any extra stationary is always appreciated. Matching envelopes are a bonus but not an issue. The stationary is the biggie.Thanks to anyone that can grant my wish.

Thanks for reading. Post your unique wishes..I might be able to help you out. :)

A merry month of May to us all!

I´m wishing for...

*Anything cryptid or alien (postcard, zine, bookmark, stickers, whatever), whether humorous or serious

*Anything guinea pig (the hubs and I are debating whether to get some as pets)

*A postcard showing a typical craft, dress, food, or recipe from your city/state/region—either written on and stamped or new in an envelope.

*A reusable shopping bag that has a design that relates to your city/state/region

*Something you have made

*Any magazine or puzzle magazine in Spanish (gently used is fine) — This will be shared with people at our church. We have a "free magazine exchange" that has plenty of items in English but very few (as in currently none) in Spanish.

*Long shot: one of those "old" (from the 90s?) Find It toys. You know, it´s a clear tube filled with bead-like stuff, you shake it and find all kinds of tiny objects in the stuff. I found one at a thrift store a few weeks ago and now I am obsessed and must have more so I can share with all the young people who never got to play with one! lol

My mailing address is in my profile—just click on my name!

Please keep my eldest son in your thoughts and prayers.  He is 38 and is having a defibrillator installed no later than Thursday morning, sooner if they are able.  This came out of the blue.  He called a few hours ago. 

Happy Mother's Day to all of you.  

I hope we see an end of Covid soon. My number one wish is for my new neurologist to help me if my hand/arm tremors.

I am interested in coupons for some restaurants. I'm in NYS, if that makes a difference. Thank you. I appreciate your coupons!

I am going to post the June threads a day early as I will be traveling on the 31st., but please wait til the first to post to them.

a small wish this month; I would like some tiny to small BABY related stickers, please. I don't need many 5-6, we have 2 babies due this summer and I discovered there were no baby stickers in my stash to add to the cards I have.

thank you for looking and as always, so appreciate all those who participate here! 

Jeanne had planned to open the June threads today, but lost internet and phone access.  Since she will be traveling tomorrow (the 31st), I anticipate that the new threads will be up on Thursday the 1st, but if not, please be patient.  Thanks!

Sorry, Starbucks' internet was down all day  yesterday too so resorted to waiting til I got to the hotel tonight to post the June threads.
