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 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 my brother.  He was let go from his job after 29 years and 5 months without warning.  He was high up in the company and they just came to his office, thanked him for his good work and told him that he no longer had a job and let him go with 6 weeks of serverance pay.  He will be looking for another job as he still has two of four kids in college.

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!!

My wishes this month are all for my hubby, that turns 76 on the 5th. Noone but me really does anything for his birthday so if he could get cards and maybe a few gifts, I know it'd make his day. He loves black cherry kool-aid, reg. beef jerky, any soft type candies, white V-neck tee shirts in size 3XL.

Thanks to anyone that will help make his birthday special.

HAPPY FALL YALL!

I was hoping someone might have some of this laying around?

HALLOWEEN cards or fall cards.

HALLOWEEN stickers

AUTUMN Stickers

Fall washi-anything like leaves, fall trees, pumpkins

Food washi-anything food related

 

If you do have that washi and can spare some, you can put them on a playing card about a foot long ect.

OR if you can send a whole roll, to save shipping then you can make it flat by putting the whole roll on a playing card! A trick Ive learned.

Thanks for looking!!

Happy September to all! 

A big, early wish is for some glow in the dark alphabet letter stickers, or markers, even paint pens....anything that can be attached to (probably) a posterboard or (possibly) a foam-y shape or banner. I would need the letters to be at least 3 inches high, prefer much bigger! I am doing an Autumn themed Trunk or Treat car this year. I want to create either a banner or sign that says "Fall in Love With Jesus." For stickers, I'd need at least 3 of each letter to have enough "L's" Colors...if all one color, I'd probably prefer green.....if multiple....green, orange, yellow, red, Autumn-y colors. I don't need these until end of October just asking now since this may not be easy to find! Related...any Christian fall/harvest stickers or small items to hand out to kids...so lol no one is concerned, of course, I will also hand out candy! I try to always have something non candy as well. Any ideas for car decorations appreciated as well! 

Coupons, I can always use: Listerine Floss (I do not need coupons for any other listerine product) Restaurants, if any one comes across a Golden Corral Coupon that is not location specific that would be awesome. My Dad and I enjoy going there for a special treat every now and then :)

Always prayers for peace and joy to all :)

Thanks so much and God Bless You All!

MAJOR LONG SHOT...

A Wilson antenna ball. Wilson was from the movie Castaway. When it came out at Blockbuster you could purchase a Wilson antenna ball with your movie rental.

Mine was recently stolen from my car & I am heartbroken! It’s just a silly little thing but it brings me great joy & I would be so excited to have another.

I simply wish for something that will bring a smile.  I feel selfish asking for anything, but I'm weary and just need something to spark a little joy.  I've spent my life caring for others: drug-addicted parents, younger siblings who needed someone to love them, lovely little children from the bus ministry at church, widowed neighbor, dear friends, and now my own wonderful little family.  In the past few months my mother has died, my siblings are at odds, my friends are busy, and my children are...well....children.  I want to scream, "I need to be seen too," but I would never do that.  Ever feel that way?
 

So, a simple hello from far away would do a heart good. XoXo
