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, 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!

Happy February Everyone! Hope all your wishes come true.

My wishes for this month are:

Hot chocolate packets. This is my evening indulgence and my sweet for the day. So any help is appreciated. Recieved

Instant tea packets for bottled water. Lemon, peach, or raspberry tea only. No green tea please. The tea packets help me drink more water daily.

Yellow lined writing pads (large size ones). Sometimes I need the lines when writing letters and I like the yellow pads over the white but haven't been able to find any lately. So help would be appreciated. Recieved

Happy mail & surprises. I get really lonely at times so the mail is something to look forward to.

Thanks to all that help me out this month.

coupons for Arby's, Wendy's or Panera's. I can't use buy one, get one type coupons or '2 for $$$' because I am eating alone at these places on days I volunteer.  

Continued prayers for my mom who underwent knee replacement last Tuesday at 84 yrs old.  She is doing great, even went to town today for her first trip out. Real PT starts Monday and with that, I am sure more pain. (Picture is my mom.)

Prayers for myself, which I hate to ask for.  I got a call the day of moms surgery that my pacemaker is acting up and need to go have it taken care of.  I am 4 hours away so it will have to wait until I leave here Feb. 15 if everything is going good.

My wishes are:

1. Fleece or flannel pillowcases in any print or color

2. Coupons-any you have extra of that includes internet or fast food.

3. Anything Wonder Woman

4. Any kind of cherry decor or stationery

5. Bluey or Minecraft stickers

6. Heart costume jewelry-especially rings

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

my request is for our entire family; we would love to get any discount coupons for restaurants/fast food places. Any kind from any where would be greatly appreciated. We are all on the go with schedules/traveling and having the coupons helps with the budget on the fly~ our grands check the mail daily so they know what to watch for. They do happy dances for the discounts~ if you have misc places, they love to try new places also! Grateful for your time & help. 

Adding odd request today (Feb 4th); 3 or 4 sheets of any interesting, novelty or themed note pad paper (like the pads you use on the icebox) they are usually 3 inches x 7 or 8 inches on the pads. but any size would be nice and appreciated. I think a few would keep the weight at just one stamps worth. 

Feb wishes:any kind of stickers,any size colored envelopes,notecards with envelopes

Prayers for me.  Wed I have knee replacement surgery.  Probably won't be on here for a few days.

Thanks

Anyone have any old, vintage crochet patterns or booklets? I'm looking for vintage filet crochet patterns and/or old magazines. In particular, I want patterns for those old chair sets that folks used to put on the arms of chairs.  Its a long shot. All the best magazines are no longer published.

If anyone has any extra rubber bands, I could use a few.  I am using them to wrap and send plastic bags to some ladies who are using the bags to make mats for homeless people.  The rubber bands let me pack more than I could if just put in a box.  Thank you!

1.Black, red & pink gel pens

2. plastic sheets with coin pockets or ones with baseball card pockets

3.any walk at home dvd's

Thank you!
