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, 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!

Prayers for the country to heal physically, politically and financially.

Prayers for all who are suffering while dealing with the COVID mess, including those suffering from depression due to being isolated.

Prayers for all those isolated in nursing homes away from their loved ones.

I would like any leftover small toys such as bouncy balls, rings, rubber ducky, car, dolls, small stuffed animals.  These things shouldn't be over 3 inches in size for the project that I have going on.  (Halloween themed is great but can be without a theme too.)

Happy November! Hope it'll be a good month for everyone.

Praying everyone stays virus free and praying for good results with the upcoming election.

Keep Bob in your prayers please. He's going thru a really rough time with his legs and can barely walk. He's also having a lot of neck pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One added wish : If someone has a ladies wallet ( the kind that holds a checkbook) they don't need, I could really use it. Mine doesn't close anymore so it's hard to use it.

 

Thanks to anyone that can help us out this month.

Happy November and prayers to all! Prayers indeed for our country and world to come together in kindness and compassion! 

I do have a few Dollar Tree specific wishes. I do respectfully request anything sent to me come from a non smoking home. Thank you! 

Large Colorful paper clips (I believe they are the Jot--Dollar Tree store brand) The colors are pink, green, yellow, orange, etc. Bright. I also need the same colors of rubberbands. 

I have wished for these before and would appreciate again any of you keeping any eye out for the Super Play Pad Jumbos. Dad and I both enjoy doing them. To make them last longer, we have realized it is ideal two have 2 identical books so we each can have our own. Right now we would greatly appreciate 1 copy of the following books (this is what the covers look like should you want a picture please PM me your email address and I can email you the exact image): 1 Kids in space and 2 kids at a fair--this includes a carousel, roller coaster, and ferris wheel on the cover. 

Two copies of any other book cover you may find :)

Play pads I DO NOT need: an under water scene with a kid scuba diving and a bear flying a kite. 

God Bless and thank you!

Hello!

I'd like to ask for bookmarks of any kind, especially holiday themed ones. I'd also like any printed recipes you have that are diabetic friendly or keto. 

Thanks!

Prayers requested, please. Still grieving and so not looking forward to the holidays.  Praying for us all for healing and peace!

My wishes are : 

Paper napkins - holiday, or any print at all.  I don't use them for crafts I use them at the table.  They just make me happy.  

This is a long shot but if anyone has any hallmark movie dvds they no longer want, Christmas or not, I would love, love, love them!!!! I don't have cable and it's my first season without Hallmark. I'm going thru severe withdrawal! Lol. I know it's a long shot but I thought I would ask.  

Stay safe and Happy November!

Prayers needed for my family on my paternal side. After two days of improving symptoms, my 82 yo uncle Dave passed away from covid today. He was a retired brother in the Catholic Church so has no spouse nor children.  ( An aunt, his sister, died a couple months ago but not from covid. With my FIL, this makes 3 family funerals since early July so it's tough.) I do not expect to make the 1000+ mile trip this time after being up there 3.5 months until recently.
I'm thankful a chaplain was able to be with him much of the past few days since family was not allowed to visit. His youngest sister was able to talk to him on a zoom call with two of my cousins recently and they were able to pray with him.

Prayers for my mom.  She had a stiff neck but then last night fell and was incoherent.  Dad took her to the hospital, gave her a shot and sent her home.  I talked to her and she was high so not making a lot of sense.

Edited my Wish above to reflect the 2 play pads I would still appreciate 1 copy of. A huge advance thank you to Amy for getting me the other two (that I had originally posted) needed play pads!

NOV 5th was my birthday but I am not really into my birthday to be honest.  Mother's day means more to me.    I also like Thanksgiving. 

I am in the ER with 3 dvts. bloodclots, in my left leg.  I am bored, but have wifi.  They are admitting me soon.  

I would really like the solar fun things from the $1 store.  You know like the dancing flowers.  They cheer me up.    I saw them yesterday at my chemo office, and it reminded me how much I like them.  

I would also like anything with  "when Pigs fly". 

Things about hope.

 

A get well card with decaf tea. 

 

A thanksgiving card.    

 

Kind of a long shot, but does anyone have HEROES, season 4, that they are ready to pass along? I am doing some binge watching lately. I stopped watching this at about season 3, and I started again from the beginning. 

a wrapped Stocking stuffer, Ideas: lip balm, earrings, metal nail file, craft stuff like washi tape or glue dots.

 

Black sharpie markers or Dollar tree was carrying a two pack of scented markers. I liked those but dont see them anymore.

As Christmas time is coming remember we collect stamps and there are lots of cool stamps coming out this Christmas. We collect both forgein and U.S. I you pick up a stamp and say I have seen a ton of these than we don't need them. If you pick up a stamp and say that I have never seen that one. Then we need it. The same is true of non christmas stamps. THanks Jean and Anna

Hey, everyone!  I've been gone for a year (and what a year it's been!) but now I'm back for a year at least.  I just wanted to WISH you all a very happy holiday and tell you how happy I am to see everyone again!
