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, postage, 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!

My  wish for January and 2024 at the moment is to have a more peaceful year personally and worldwide.

 

Wish granted.  Thank you, Shirley!  I also wish for a lanyard to put on my key fob for the gym I just joined.

My wishes for this month are: encouragement as I work towards getting healthier.

I could use some pretty stickers like flowers, themed, old fashioned looking. Nothing that's school or childish looking please. I am completely out of stickers so would appreciate the help.

Happy, Healthy New Year prayers to each of you with much care and appreciation always. My 2024 see you grow in faith and find joy in moments small, big, and in between. 

Prayers of health and rest for my beloved dad. Prayers for me God willing to be completely recovered from two fractured toes and other foot/leg issues. That by the end of this month I am able to walk normally and with no pain, Of course, that none of this ever happens again!

Always prayers for a kind and permanent Covid end for all to choose to come together in compassion and kindness. 

I would appreciate your looking at my updated postcard Share and Care post from tonight. Please reply by PM by this coming Saturday, 1-6. 

PM me within the month if you would be willing to write one paragraph for a Christian nonfiction book I am working on. 

Lastly, with this being the first day of 2024, it is a reminder to me, to request that you please not wait to tell someone who care about or love that you do and let them do likewise for you! 

Prayers each of you has peaceful sweet dreams :)

My daughter has decided she likes sheet masks. She likes things that smell good, though I think the ones that would be best for her 12 year old's mild acne are the kind that smell like tea tree oil!

I am wishing for any stencils/templates that you no longer want. I have taken up painting as therapy and sometimes use templates. I'll take anything and try to make them fun. I use all kinds from kids to architecural and everything in between.

Last Monday mom ( age 97) had to go by ambulance to Ft Sam BAMC... she's still there. I know that she's lived a long life. 
please pray for her to either heal or for the good Lord to see if he can help her pass on. 
Her sodium levels and blood pressure are not good. I'm an emotional wreck. 
and some of you know that my siblings and I are not close .. mom lives with me. 
 

please pray for us ... no matter your beliefs 

thank you
