Temporary TCKid Home

@ Hey, Eric Carlos–how are you doing? Are you enjoying “being at home” on the mytckid site? Would be happy to talk via facetime/skype sometime (no worries–I am in Pennsylvania, and definitely not a stalker type–LOL!)

@ Hoi Natasja, welkom! I hope you feel at home here 🙂 groetjes Janneke

@ Hey jennifer,

thanks for inviting me to the group on FB. I hope the summer meet-up is soon! I am excited to meet other TCKs in Vancouver. ooh and I am awaiting to have my request for the group accepted, hope you don’t forget! i do not wanna miss out on meeting with all of you wonderful people 😉 thanks so much again

@ Thanks for the invite and awareness. I like it. The idea of TCKs building community around common themes and values is a cool idea. One thing I am finding in my current work is ‘pinning us down’ to dates and times bc. of the lifestyle. Blessing and curse sometimes! I won’t be much available in the next 6 months bc. of being in a major transition…[Read more]

@ Mishaela, It really does not bother me to be associated. My dad was an amazing man and I love and respect him dearly. But yes, it can be interesting to have well-known parents. You sound like you relate.
I’d love to hear about the source of your friend’s tapes of my dad. I’m always interested in resources like that, and oddly, some of them are…[Read more]

@  Hi Martha, nice to meet you! In case you haven’t noticed, I’m adding friends that might currently live near me..or will be next time I move. I’ve learned my lesson and it’s important to have that support group. 😉 The Congo..wow, things must have been a lot different back then! I’d love to hear stories from that time. 🙂 Thanks for adding me…

@ Hi Michael, how interesting to hear the work you guys are beginning here in the US. Kudos! Thanks for the comment..I know it can sometimes be bothersome to only be known for your father and not yourself… 😉 However, without your dad’s lectures on tape that a friend gave me, I’d be in a huge mess.  Yes, JungleGirl is me. 🙂 Glad to hear I a…[Read more]

@ Mishaela,
Glad to meet you. And yes, I am Dave’s son.  Haha, I do get that a lot, but more since we moved back from China last July. There I was known for my work and life and now I am still in the chaos of transition and it is more likely for people to make that connection. I just busted out to your blog (are you junglegirl?) or is that a…[Read more]

@ Oops…wrong Laura Gleason…sorry I do not know this woman, based on where she lives.

@ Mishaela, I am an MK from way back.  I left Congo in 1970 to go to college and have lived here in the US since then.  How do you know Laura Gleason…she and I go to church together.  She is an amazing woman of God, but I had not realized she is a TCKid.

This is a good one, I think.

@ Uno más que vivió en Santo Domingo. Hay pocos aquí en este social network. Saludos desde Santo Domingo. 🙂

@ Hi Luis!

I saw your message, but I don’t live in Scandinavia nor do I have any plans to go back at this time. Good luck with the meetup, though – it would have been fun to go to one!

@ Hey – There’s actually already a group for TCKs in Vancouver on Facebook. 🙂 Most of us tend to hang out more there, probably because people just tend to check Facebook more often. I think this is the correct link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/34019132573/?fref=ts

I’m the “leader” for the local chapter, and have created a couple of m…[Read more]

@ Hey Luis,
Good to hear from you. Please tell me more about this TCK House idea and how I might be a help. I’m currently in a transition and start-up process myself so there may be delays in communication but I am intrigued and glad to contribute.
Michael

@ Hello Rachel, thanks for the friend request! I enjoyed reading your profile. I hope we can talk some time :) 

@ I was studying at the seminary. Three whole years I was there! Spent depressed half the time. Although mostly because of some physical ailments, not because I’m a TCK lol. There was actually a trio of TCKs, maybe more, on the seminary grounds as well! 
Bummer, also cuz I was there two weeks ago for a conference. Although it really left me no t…[Read more]

@ Hey Sarang…….so you were in Princeton last May and I didn’t even know!!  I agree, that is a TRUE bummer!!  We could have invited you to join our TCK “club” ….actually it’s just 3 of us, myself, my sister, and and another TCK who lives in Morrisville, PA.  Anyway I am truly sorry that our paths didn’t cross (insert sad face here!)  Jus…[Read more]

@ Hi Tim. I came over from the best friend feed… just curious about the variety of people who respond to my question. And I AM PEEVED! I just left Princeton last May! I could have had a fellow TCK to laugh and share woes with right there in Princeton!
Ah well, such is life of a TCK right? Haha 🙂

@ I would be interested in some sort of meeting.  I live in the Pasadena area, so something near there would be ideal for me.  South and West can be hard trafficwise from here.  Let me know.
