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 August everyone. Hope you enjoy the month and hope something good happens for you. This is my birthday month (20th) so would love to get happy mail/cards.

Would love to get some pretty stickers that have clear background. Nothing kiddish. NO glitter. Prefer flowers, Summer themes, motivationals, just really pretty ones. Also always in need of pretty unlined stationary w/envelopes (if possible).

Thanks to all that can help grant my wishes.

Book Charms (bout the size of a nickle, no bigger than a quarter)

Music Charms (bout the size of a nickle, no bigger than a quarter)

Any charms (bout the size of a nickle, no bigger than a quarter)

I would love a blinkie to commemorate 12 years as a non smoker to replace the x-smoker blinkie in my siggie line.  

Something where there would be a blank space where I could add/change the number of years.

"Proud to be, _ years, smoke free"   Something like that.....

thanks

Its my birthday month!  I would enjoy any happy mail .  Thank you for considering my wish.  

I'm also looking for a blank journal I can keep progress on some of my goals.  :) wish granted!  Thank you

Happy August to all! Prayers always for a safe, kind, and permanent pandemic end. How far God has brought us toward much brighter days this year! Prayers that all may be happy, at peace with faith, and have a safe shelter filled with necessities and love. 

Reminder always to please never wait to tell someone you care! 

I would still appreciate one child drawn illustration for a story I wrote. I would also appreciate a paragraph contribution from anyone who might like to write. I need an example of a share from a friend. I can share specifics via PM. Thank you! 

I could always use glitter free greeting cards both for birthdays and general blank or praying for/thinking about you. 

Please save your kind sticker sharing for others. I don't currently need any other than Autumn stickers and stickers that may say Happy Birthday, Happy Autumn, Happy Thanksgiving, you get the idea :)

Anyone going to the Dollar Tree? https://www.bonanza.com/listings/File-Folder-Labels-Color-Coded-Self-Adhesive/728904633?goog_pla=1&variation_id=1051841383&gpid=297657953678&keyword=&goog_pla=1&pos=&ad_type=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3qWszuG8gAMVpQWtBh3-dg1WEAsYBSABEgLrovD_BwE I would like only the green color. 

i am also looking for a toothbrush holder with a removable top for cup cleaning; https://www.ebay.com/itm/353574647927Dad and I would extra appreciate this very hard to find item in a bright color. No dark blue, gray, or black please. 

New Request: Monday 8/28 Please check out my two Share and Care threads. Thank you. 

As always, I do need anything sent to me to come from a completely non smoking home. 

Thank you all so much for all the faith, love, and cheer you spread right here through RAOK. You make a kind difference! God Bless You. 

I could use some prayers. In April I was diagnosed with 2 primary cancers.  Had 2 major surgeries in May.  Currently having a healing issue that is delaying chemotherapy.  Another surgery scheduled this month.  I hope everyone has a wonderful month and thanks for the prayers.

Prayers for continued resolution to my health concerns and to get me on the surgical schedule for a knee replacement before next year. ( I see the surgeon on the 8th and he should give me a slot then)

I can use coupons for Arby's, Wendy's or Panera's. They are helpful for the several days a week when I volunteer and have to grab lunch out. 

Major prayers needed for my daughter Megan to find an apartment in Tallahassee. She starts her new job up there at FL State Univ on 18 Aug and cant find a place to live yet. She was there FRI and Saturday to apt hunt with no luck. Her two appointments were cancelled last minute then on Saturday she tried to visit multiple places that are advertising openings but they wont let prospective renters see the units!!!

Aug wishes:Halloween or X-mas stickers,your unwanted junk mail:envelopes,catalogs,cards etc [I use it to make junk journals)postcards

1. A Chomps beef stick in Taco or Italian style if your Walmart or grocery store has one by chance.

3. Anything Wonder Woman

4. Coupons(rare I know)--any you have extra of or any Internet coupons you printed off and can't use

I'm wishing for Blank note cards; 

Thank you for looking and spreading joy to others in the RAOKs.  

Updated my request

New Request added above. Thank you friends :) 

Urgent Prayer Request:  They are transporting my Grandson, Grayson, by ambulance from one hospital to a trauma unit due to a fall off of monkey bars today at school.  His elbow bones are broken in three places and will require surgery.  He is in terrible pain and there is nothing like the squalls of a 6 year old who is in desperate pain. (Surgery went well and Grayso. Is sleeping a lot due to meds.  4 pins and a cast and hopefully all will heal correctly.)

Prayers also for my brother, Chuck, who on top of his cancer had to have gall bladder surgery on Friday that took 2 hours instead of the 45 minutes.

Prayers for me wouldn't hurt either, it has been a week among weeks.  My banking accounts were cloned and hit hard.  I was call to jury duty from Sept through Jan.  My grandson and brother are breaking my heart.  And to top it all off, I was bitten by a spider under the arm.  Needless to say, I am emotional and exhausted by everything this week.
