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 recommend 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, 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. 

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 New Year

If anyone has any hot chocolate packets, I'd really appreciate some. With the colder temps right now, hot chocolate is really good in the evenings.

Could also use some pretty stationary with matching envelopes.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

My wishes; I'm trying to keep busy doing art stuff again. 
 

wishing for Trader Joe's paper bags.. especially the one with blue from this season.

I'm wishing for a small calendar I can keep track of something but carry in my purse.  Thank you for reading!  :) Wish granted.  Thank you!  :)

These aren't all low carb, but many are. Last year I was introduced to this thread and many recipes were added:

Happy New Year dear friends with a hug, 

I pray each of you enjoy a healthy and happy 2025 of jot. Thank you always for all the kindness you spread. I thank God for each of you and pray to serve in faithful kindness myself.

Prayers big time continuing please for dad and myself for complete recovery and to be pain free. Please take care of yourselves.

Happy New Year!  Much hugs and love to all as well as God's blessings wished to you.

I could use a fridge size calendar

Some photo sheets  4X6

unloved or broken jewelry, as always

(warm weather wishes..........the blizzard hit)

 WARNING!!

Please remember that offers are just for what has been listed. We are NOT to ask for a variation of what was offered. NO 'other color wanted', etc.

Yes, there was someone who broke the rules and did that. When rules aren't followed, it makes the person offering items not want to continue here.  Please also be kind when you request an item!!!

I can use coupons for Arby's, Panera's, or Wendy's for days I volunteer at FoL library bookstores. Prefer ones that are not 'buy one, get one," or

" get  2 for $$" cause I am eating alone and any leftover food would sit in hot car while I work.

My wishes are(most are longshots):

1. Any kind of kcups you no longer want-nothing with mint or pumpkin please

2.  Any color or print of a full or queen size sheet

3. Coupons-any you have extra of or any internet coupons that you can't use

4.  Any kind of cherry decor

5. Lilac body wash or body spray

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

2024 banned books

2025 banned books 

I want to see how many of them I already own before looking to purchase more. 
 

thanks 

I'm looking for some buttons for my craft projects. Any and all kinds.

my request is for our entire family; we would love to get any discount coupons for restaurants/fast food places. Any kind from any where would be greatly appreciated. We are all on the go with schedules/traveling and having the coupons helps with the budget on the fly~ our grands check the mail daily so they know what to watch for. They do happy dances for the discounts~ if you have misc places, they love to try new places also! Grateful for your time & help. 

Please whisper a prayer for me.  I am staying with my parents until at least February 15thbecause of her knee surgery.  On surgery day, I got a call telling me that the leads in my pacemaker are acting up and I need to come in.  I explained that I was no where near my doctor and that it would have to wait until the end of Feb.  The person on the other side said, it's better to do this quicker than later.  So I ask for a pray that all is okay until I can get to doctors to take care of this pacemaker issue.

I'm a schnauzer-mom to my beautiful Meggie. I'm always looking for cute things featuring schnauzers. Small things are best to keep mailing costs down. Cards, pictures, socks, knick-knacks, anything.

Also, if anyone does filet crochet, using crochet thread (not yarn) I'm always on the lookout for a favorite pattern.

This thread is now closed.  The February Wishes thread is now available for you to post the items you need or want or crave or just can't find.  Thanks for using it now!
