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 October!!! Here's to fall leaves and cooler weather!  My favorite time of the year!  My wish for this month is an expo pen for like a white board if anyone has any to spare.  Thank you for reading! :)

Happy October everyone.

This month I'm still hoping someone can help me out with make-up. Looking for black or dark brown eye liner and peach colored blush. I'm not looking for anything expensive, $TREE make-up is fine.

Also if you come across any pretty adult style stickers with clear back grounds and no glitter, I'd appreciate it. No real childish ones and no little bits and pieces please. Prefer full sheets if possible. Flowers, seasonal, things like that.

ADDED: And if anyone has any of the instant drink packets that go in bottled water, I could sure use them. Prefer grape, orange, limeaide, or lemon tea. No other flavors please.

 Thanks so much for any help.

My only wish this month are PRAYERS for everyone who has been affected by the massive storms and high heat that has hit the USA.  I am so fortunate that it makes me cry to see all that is happening and so little I can do to help.  Please Pray for all.  

Amen to what Vicky said above and also that all are treated with compassion and kindness.

Prayers for continued recovery for me from my long term feet trouble and good health for my beloved dad. 

I could use some blank birthday cards. 

Longshot Wish #1 is a package of can covers for my dad to use on cans of flavored water. 

Longshot wish #2 is an Autumn/Thanksgiving themed 52X70 PEVA/Flannel Backed Table/Vinyl (No Disposable) Cloth. Please no Halloween or gnomes. 

I respectfully request that anything sent to me come from a non smoking home. Thank you and God Bless you all. Hugs!

Updated wish list above.

My wishes are:

1. I would like plain postcards in any color if they make them so I can decorate them myself with stickers.

2. 1 or 2 decorative pull chains for ceiling fans/lights

3. A round tablecloth in any color or fabric

4. Command hooks or knock offs(trying to get organized)

5. Anything Coca Cola-can be ads, coupons,recipes,etc. :)

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

Updated my wish list.

I've seen the damages from Helene.  Pray for those people, please.

For  me,  same old wish:  unloved, unwanted or broken jewelry.  I just sent some pieces to my sister, (Helen-some of your had sent her cards when she had cancer and she still reads them from time to time.) She is making a Christmas tree on felt with broken bits.

Hugs to all you wonderful PBSers

Please pray extra prayers for this next hurricane that is ready to hit Florida.  Milton looks like a monster and so many are already suffering.

Prayers for all of Florida. It's not going to be a good next couple of days. I'm on the East coast so it won't be quite as bad but it's not going to be any fun. Praying I don't lose power.

Praying for the people affected by Hurricane Milton. I hope the weather cools down in Tucson.

I got some bookmarks (thanks!)  so now I'm hoping someone has a particular type of knitting pattern.  I want to knit a pullover sweater made of 100% cotton yarn. It will most likely use bulky cotton yarn. Not acrylic. Probably large needles. I'd buy a sweater if I could find what I'm looking for to replace a beloved cotton pullover sweater I had years ago but that's almost impossible to find.

I'm hoping for some leftover and unloved yarn. Mine all went to an adult day center to the ladies with alzheimers that crochet there. Now I could use some and extra could be donated. Thanks for considering. 

Hello good people.  Hope your fall is going good.

I'm just asking for prayers for my 94 year old mother in law. She had her third heart attack and is in hospice. The room is very nice but she misses her home. Soon she will be with my father in law. Prayers for a comfortable and peaceful transition for her.

Thank you so much.
