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 done by private PMs.  Chatting is welcome in the Share and Care forum, which is limited to PBS members, and where card showers and prayer requests are available for anyone who asks for support.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

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 stamps, 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!

Wishing all of you a safe and fun July. Dad and I are enjoying warmer days. I hope all of you are, too :) Prayers always for a kind and permanent end to Covid. Grace of God, it has been an extra joy to feel and experience brighter times are here. I continue to pray, of course, that Covid risk continues to diminish. Please though stay safe friends. 

Items that I would very much appreciate are: 

10 bigger Summer labels, stickers, or badge stickers (Happy Birthday would work great, too) to cover most of a 4×6 blank postcard. I'm thinking 3×5 square/ rectangle. 

Summer stickers in general. I don't drink so would have no need of pina colada images often found on Summer season stickers. 

Seasonal or Happy Mail of any type postcards. I don't currently need birthday postcards. 

I can always use blank cards and birthday cards. 

As always, I do respectfully ask that anything sent to me comes from a no smoking home and is glitter free. 

Most of all, once more and always, please let someone in your life know upon reading this that you care about and love them. Don't wait! 

Thank you all so very much always making a kind and faithful difference to me and all in your lives. I appreciate each of you so very much. 

Hug to all. Thank you. God Bless You.

Happy 4th of July weekend. Hope it's a fun-filled weekend and a good month for all.

My wishes this month are for boxes of those "to go" drink mixes you put in water bottles. Prefer the peach or lemon tea ones or the 7-up ones . No green tea ones please. Any flavors are fine though (except the green tea or rootbeer). I'm trying to get in more water and the to go mixes make it a little more flavorful.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out this month.

*Something sock monkey (stickers, bookmark, or whatnot)

*A pertinent comment on any of the entries on my recipe blog: comboplate.net

*Anything cryptid or alien, whether humorous or serious

*Women´s crew socks or over-the-ankle socks in any shade of red, orange, purple yellow, green, brown, bright pink, or medium to dark blue—must be very stretchy (non-restrictive) at the opening and not super thin. Solid colors or tiny prints preferred. Why can I only fine white and black socks like this? Why are all the nice color socks either no-show or knee socks, which I have no use for? Why is this so hard, when all I want to do is match my socks to my top? Why why why??? lol 

*A postcard showing a typical craft, dress, food, or recipe from your city/state/region—either written on and stamped or new in an envelope.

*Find It game (you know, clear tube full of beads or whatever that you shake around to find tiny objects in), any theme—from the thrift store is fine.

*Your tried-and-true best loved recipes that call for fresh basil, mint, or other fresh culinary herbs. We have had great success with our herb garden this year! (No pesto recipes, though, please.)

*Your tried-and-true best loved recipes for dishes that are local to or typical of your area, ethnic group, or family.

My address is in my profile (just click on my name), if you´d like to surprise me. I love mail surprises!

Extra Wish to ask do any of you have either a free shipping code on orders less than $79 at JC Penney or a Current Catalog Coupon that offers both a discount and free shipping? I would appreciate either. Thank you so much.

The drama continues. I was t-boned by another driver last nite entering a gas station as they were leaving it. No they did not yield as I was turning in with my turn signal on. My vehicle has driver side damage but is driveable. Getting an estimate next week. Just asking for healing thoughts.
Thank you:)

Eeek!  I just looked in the mirror and it's definitely time to colour my hair.  Would appreciate Clairol Nice & Easy coupons, but not the root coverup.

PM me for address.  

Thank you! 

ETA:  I'm looking for coupons, not the actual product.

My grandson's birthday party theme has changed. He's crazy for Elmo, Cookie Monster and Grover. So anything Sesame Street would be welcome

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
