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!

I'm wishing for new Valentine themed scrunchie's. Many thanks!

Happy February everyone.

New add: I know a couple of people sent me a few stickers earlier in the month, but I'm completely out and miss being able to decorate my envelopes. If anyone could spare some with butterflies, and/or Spring or Summer themed, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out the end of the month.

Coupons for single items or meal deal from Arby's, Wendy's or Panera's. 

any eating out coupons for the grandkids to eat on the run between college & jobs would be appreciated greatly. 

they are not picky, so any place would be nice for more choices; pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, chicken, seafood, any restaurant will work for them. 

for me; any manufactures food and household coupons to use in stores (we no longer get any in our newspaper)  

now the odd request; if anyone would love to send a copy of their families favorite recipes; entrees, snacks, desserts/etc, (dad/mom/grandma's/any family members favorite/handed down over the years) we would be grateful to have new recipes to try so we can add to the grandkids binders to start their recipe collection. we experiment in the kitchen for our together time. I'm trying to pass down the love of being in the kitchen with tried & loved recipes and doing so, brings us that joy. PS; if possible, add a note about that recipe (dad's favorite/etc)  

thank you for offering in the RAOKs~~  

I find very few stickers in with my stash of  Easter cards, so I'd love some of those if you have extra. I'll ask for cute/funny rather than religious, please.

Thanks for looking and supporting our wonderful RAOK forum.

Added another postcard wish.

This is a long shot but I'm in need of a dvd of chair yoga.  I need it for my therapy and can't spring for one right now on top of everything else.  Beginners or one for seniors would be perfect.  But I'm not picky.  If anyone can help I would be grateful. Thank you!
