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 this month is if you sent up prayers for my brother to drop me a message with your full address in it.  I want to send each person a postcard with wedding pictures on it.

My wish is for one of these old fashioned, simple, paper towel hangers, with the foldy-flaps at the ends.  Like grandma used to have.
You would think they'd be in every store (for $1), but no, all I can find after weeks of hunting are counter-top styles for much, much bigger bucks.
Counter-top styles make no sense to me!!  I want to save counter-top space by hanging up the roll!

If anyone finds one, it'll be a true miracle.  In the meantime, I'm scrouring tags sales.
Thanks for reading my wish..

Happy September 1st my friends. I hope this month will be a wonderful one for all.

Updated wish: I just realized I'm all out of my favorite ink gel pens and would really appreciate if someone could help me out. I use "Precise V5 Rolling Ball" gel pens, size EXTRA FINE in black or blue ink only. No other colors please. Prefer just blue, but black is ok. But it has to be extra fine, not fine. Thanks so much for any help. (Since I ordered the seated walker, my money is extremely tight this month.)

My wishes this month are to help me feel better about myself by making myself look better on the outside. For over 25 years I haven't worn make-up because Bob didn't want me to wear any. But I know how much better I look with it and want to start wearing it again. If any of you could help me out, it'd be great. Otherwise I'll have to wait til I get my SS#. What I'm needing are: brown/tan tone color eye shadow, dark brown eye liner and mascara, peach colored blush. I also use lip gloss but already have that. $Tree make-up is fine. I don't need the expensive stuff. I really don't like how I look these days so getting the make-up will be the 1st step in improving how I feel about myself. So thank you in advance for anyone that can help me out.

Happy September everyone 

Today, 9-11, especially I wish that each of you please tell someone you love, care for, or appreciate that you do. Share an extra kind smile with someone. 

Grace of God, I continue to gain strength and am walking more. Prayers always appreciated for my complete and permanent recovery from my long term feet issues. Dad health prayers are forever appreciated by me more than I can say, too. 

Dad enjoys cans of flavored water. He has been trying to find can covers that seal well and that would keep the carbonation fresh overnight. I would greatly appreciate a package of can covers for him. 

Thank you, friends. God Bless You.

I'm looking for any owl paper ephemera.  This can include stickers, notecards, postcards, napkins, printed images, magazine pictures/articles, playing cards, stationary, etc.

I'm working on a owl journal.  Thank you!

I'm opening the October threads a little early, since I have access at the moment.  So please switch to the October Wishes thread, even though it's not yet October.  Thanks!
