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 recommend 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, 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. 

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!

--need coupons for fast food to Wendy's, Panera's, or Arby's for one item (not buy 2 for $XX, nor buy one get one) as I eat alone on my days when I volunteer and am out all day.

-- Prayers needed here too. I am healing from a vein ablation but have several other medical issues going on including another round of elevated blood pressure since February. Trying new meds but so far no complete fix.

Could use some pretty unlined stationary (not computer size paper). Any with flowers, butterflies, or old fashioned looking would be great. I write a lot of letters monthly so pretty paper is always nice.

Added wish: I'm in need of card size envelopes (like for card stock homemade cards). That size is best when I mail out address labels and I'm completely out. So any help would be appreciated. White is ok but the colored envelopes I like best.

Added Wish: I'm totally out of the hot chocolate I like to drink before going to bed at night. That's my sweet indulgence. If anyone could help me out with some, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for anyone that could help me out.

May joy to all! God willing, it would be such an amazing gift for me to celebrate my birthday this month at home. I would appreciate so much continuing prayers for that and my complete recovery in general. Dad prayers I thank each of you for so deeply, too. 

New Wish: Do any of you shop at Ralph's (Kroger owned Supermarkets)?  Dad and I both enjoy Kroger Brand (No other brand or flavor) Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins. They come in a blue box. I would be happy to email any of you who may be shopping at Ralphs anyway (please do not make a special trip) a picture. PM me your email if I don't already have it. Thank you, friends.

Hugs and thank you to each of you always for the faith and kind friendship you spread. 

Thank you everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages.  I am home, last night about 8.  They were running about 4 hours behind in surgeries which was not fun but I finally got a new pacemaker and leads.  Now I just have to be patient for it to heal.

My wish for May are prayers for myself.  I will be having my pacemaker replaced on May 7th since it isn't functioning in the way it should.  

This is a long shot but I want to redo my kitchen in strawberries. If anyone has anything with strawberries on it to share I would appreciate it and just be so happy. 

Prayers as I continue to heal.  Lifting up in prayer those requesting prayer too.  

Added to my wishes above.

New wish added. Thank you :)

My wishes are(most are longshots):

1. Plastic rain gauge in any size or color

2. Round tablecloth any color or fabric

3. Full or queen size flat sheet in any color

4.  Anyone have a King Cake K-cup I could have or a K-Cup of any of the Yellowstone coffees? I would love to try either one before buying a box. :)

5.  Pearl Milling Blueberry Pancake Cup-not around here and I would like to try one before ordering a huge box from Amazon.

6. Any kind of clothing or home decor with cherries on it-love the cuteness of it.

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