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!

Happy April

My wishes this month are:

Instant Tea packets to add to water. This is the only flavor I want , but please NO GREEN TEA . Prefer lemon or other flavored teas and prefer herbal if possible.

Pretty, non-glittery stickers with clear background. Prefer flowers, butterflies, themed (Spring or Summer), cute sayings

Long shot: Still hoping someone can help me out with a sterling silver cross charm to put on my sterling silver chain. Would prefer a 2" cross but will take whatever I can get.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out this month.

Prayers always for our country and world to come together in faith, compassion, and kindness. Related to help put a kind permanent end to Covid and to work toward all of God's life having a safe, faith filled, loving shelter that is warm and has necessities. 

Dad and I health prayers extra appreciated this month that we may both fully recover from foot and other issues. 

Happy Birthday postcards and stickers. I do not need any other stickers other than for Summer. 

New Wish added 4/4: Anyone headed to the Dollar Tree? If so I would appreciate so much you looking in the activity book section for a softcover (think coloring book) book that said something like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Word Search on it. I believe the publisher is Bendon. Thank you so much.

Longshot: Please PM me if you shop at Ralphs or Kroger. I am not a coffee or tea drinker. I do so enjoy a very small mug of Kroger Brand Hot Chocolate making it with milk not water. The only one I want will say Kroger Brand Hot Chocolate Dutch Milk Chocolate on the box. It comes in a blue box with 8 envelopes. I do not want fat free or with mini marshmallows. Just regular. Link to picture:  Kroger® Dutch Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix, 8 ct - Ralphs

Do any of you get (or have an old) Reader's Digests? I would enjoy reading a couple of Reader's Digest to see whether I want to subscribe. I DO have a current Guideposts subscription. Thank you so much to those of you who have sent me over the years older issues. Should anyone still have some older Guideposts please me, thank you! 

I do respectfully ask that anything sent to me come from a no smoking home. 

God Bless You. Thank you so much! 

In need of prayers.  A tornado hit 15 miles from our home.  We were lucky to have no damage but several lost their homes.  (We haven't had tornado in WV in almost 50 years.)  And of course, I ended up in ER Monday morning with no results.  Today I went to my Dr. And have an ear infection, a sinus infection coupled with bronchitis.  Our area has been without power since Monday and very limited cell service , only 6 or 18 towers are partially in-service.

Please pray for those who lost their homes.  No lives were lost. Praise be.

New Wish added above. 

Happy April! My prayer is that all are doing well.  My wish for this month is for flavored tea, with caffeine or herbal.  I used to buy the Celestial Seasonings fruit flavors but can't find them in stock lately.  I really like blueberry, blackberry...I enjoy them all.  Green teas are fine too!  Just something to relax and sip as I read or journal.  Thank you so much for reading!  :)

April wishes:  washi tape,any kind of stickers,scrapbook paper

No coupons needed this month as I will be homebound for a month following surgery this Wed, 10 April for a left knee replacement. I will be in hospital overnight and should come home TH afternoon.  Hopefully I will be back to driving in 4-6 weeks. Please keep me in thought and prayer!!

Looking for flower seeds:
Desert Rose
Ranunculus
Lisianthus
Hollyhocks
Peonies

Thanks>>

Please send me healing thoughts for my April 1st knee replacement. 

Any happy mail would be appreciated also ð 

This month I'd like to ask for happy mail. All I get right now is bills and junk mail and would love to see some happy mail in my box. Thanks so much.

Does anyone have a spare "Good Job" or "You Did It" or similar kids-type sticker?  I want to do something funny for a coworker's 2-year work anniversary on 5.12.  I only need one.   Melanie came through for me! 

I'm looking for:

a fold out plastic box or fabric basket(also at certain dollar trees)

Thanks for looking!

I'm wishing for flowers seeds. With the cost of potted flowers I thought I'd attempt growing my own. Thank you in advance for the consideration:)

More prayers needed as I struggle with new intense neuropathy symptoms since my knee surgery....today having trouble with fine motor skills; writing, typing, and using scissors.
