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 cardspostage, 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 July everyone. Hope it's a wonderful month for you and you have a happy & safe 4th of July.

My wishes for this month are: continued prayers for my friend Phyllis. She is in such bad shape since the car accident and has lost so much weight she'll literly skin & bones. She's going to probably be in rehab here on out unless something changes. Please pray for quick healing for her or if it's God's will to take her to her heavenly home so she's out of the pain she's in.

Also could really use some pretty glitter free stickers that are seasonal or just really pretty. No school type or real childish ones please.

 

Thanks to all that can grant my wishes this month.

Prayers of faith, peace, health and joy to each of you always and to all. 

Healing prayers to all in need. 

I would appreciate continuing prayers for my permanent and complete recovery from feet issues. Dad health prayers always appreciated too. 

God Bless each of you and as always thank you for your friendships and the faith, joy, and fun you spread.

My daughter's bridal shower is at the end of August. I'd apprecite any tried and true recipes or household hints to add to the ones we're collecting from guests. Extra credit if they're on recipe cards or index cards. :)

This might be a long shot but does anyone have any kits, used is just fine, of stamped cross stitch?  I like doing unstamped but I'm getting used to new glasses and my eyes get kind of tired.  Any would be appreciated!  I'm stuck inside with this heat.  Ugh!  Wish granted!  Thank you!

Need prayers for my daughter, Kristen, who is newly pregnant. She is having horrible cramping with pain waking her up at night. Her PCM thinks it is due to her history of endometriosis. She had to come off the medication she used for 8 years to treat the symptoms  in order to get pregnant (we were afraid she might not be able to conceive at all).

I need Coupons for Arby's, Wendy's,  Culver's, or Panera's needed as I start to return to some volunteering. I can only use the ones for single items, not the Buy one, get one coupons or the "2 for  $$" since I am always going alone to eat between morning activity and afternoon volunteering. Thank you!

sharing this that was posted elsewhere. I have her address if you would like to send family a card. 

Sad news about LaVonne W .  I will surely miss her.

 Her granddaughter posted this tribute:

 

Our family has lost its matriarch. She may have been pocket sized, but she was a powerhouse. She led this family thorough many good and bad times and was a constant source of support. Like others she became a better grandma than a mother and an even better great grandma. She may not have been the most outwardly affectionate person, but she had a deep love for her family and was proud of them. In her final days she showed us so much grace, resiliency, love, and humor. She made the most of a terrible situation and helped us to accept the inevitable. She is finally at peace and has been reunited with grandpa. I am so grateful for the journey and heartbroken that it has come to an end. Thank you for all the memories Granny I will cherish them for the rest of my life.

Continued prayers for my brother fighting cancer.  His only child gets married in August at Estes Park in Colorado and he is planning to walk her down the aisle.

 

Prayers for my son, Seth, who will be having major shoulder surgery on July 24th.  He will be without use of it for up to 16 weeks.

I could sure use more single-use plastic shopping bags. They are so useful but we can't get them in NYS. Thanks!
