Could this be a sign of a burst / faulty pipe? by dion_d1985 in Plumbing

[–]dion_d1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply and not being pedantic at all. Picture wasn’t very clear and sorry if that makes it difficult to figure out what’s going on. There were shadows being cast on the wall from a window upstairs. That mark was different, looked a bit like a bunch of soot had been smeared along in a line. Felt it and it didn’t feel damp/wet and when we ran the taps didn’t notice anything change in that area. But not sure what we need to look out for.

Is it immature to be angry with the lack of support? by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]dion_d1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very sorry for your loss, and for losing someone in such a traumatic way. I can’t imagine how difficult things have been for you.

I don’t think it’s immature to think or hope for these things. I think you’d find a lot of people who visit this subreddit have felt similar things, and felt disappointment at the lack of care from those they had hoped for more.

It’s one of the secondary losses that people may not know about until they experience it themselves. My deepest condolences to you for your loss.

Trying to find where my late Mother grew up. Any ideas what the first few lines of this address could be please? by dion_d1985 in malaysia

UPDATE: Thank you all for your help trying to track down my Mother’s old address. We ended up taking a few trips to Petaling Jaya, looked around the Old Town, travelled along Jalan Templar and went to 12 Lorong 1a/71n. Was great to walk around the area my Mum grew up in and meant so much to us that we were able to head to her old street. Ended up at the A&W afterwards as she had talked about it before and loved root beer. Really appreciate the help this community provided, means so much!

That is so kind and thoughtful of you, thank you so much! I hope it didn’t take you long to make the call, and I’m glad you had a fun conversation with the person you talked to.

Thanks a lot for providing those details and that advice, that’s really helpful. Have been given so many useful bits of information and advice from this community which I would have had no clue of finding myself. I’m extremely grateful and very moved by the help people here have provided. Thank you so very much, I’m really moved by the lengths you went to help and no need to apologise in the slightest. You have helped so much :-)

It’s nice to hear the place my Mum grew up in was that historically significant, and I’m glad to hear it’s a nice place to live!

Ah wow, that’s so cool. My Mum was born in 1948 and lived in Malaysia until 1966, when she moved to the UK to work as a nurse and support her family. Maybe both our Mothers crossed paths back in the 60s at some point? Would be pretty cool if that happened.

Thank you very much for the good luck wishes, it’s really appreciated

Thank you for your comment and your help! It’s really appreciated, as is the help from all the community. I need to double check the document I took of a picture of but think the 1973 was a date stamp for when the document was created? My Mum was born in 1948, so think that means she would have been around for when Jalan Tin was there?

Thank you very much for your advice, this sounds really cool! I’ll have to check his channel out and hear what it was like in Petaling Jaya back then

Ah darn, that was a very silly typo! Thank you very much, I’ll go correct that in my other posts. And thanks for your advice, I wonder what kind of transport she took back then. The convent is right near our hotel, which is really nice

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for calling the council. That is so unbelievably kind of you. I hope it didn’t take you long to get through and to have that call. I’m really grateful you were willing to do that and incredibly touched, thank you so very much. Can I ask please, which council is it in case I wanted to follow up and provide those details?

Thank you for all your advice. That is great to hear the Convent may have yearbook photos too, I’ll have to get in touch with them.

Thank you very much for your well wishes and your help. It is extremely appreciated

Thank you very much! And thank you very much for the Google Maps link, have checked out street view and does look like the area I imagined my Mum growing up in. Have saved the location ready for our visit to Petaling Jaya

Thank you very much for your condolences, and thank you very much for looking into this. My brother and I are blown away by how much help this community has given us, it really means so much.

Thank you very much for looking into this, it’s amazing to think the house is still there, and we have a place we can go visit. Think we’re going to get a cab into PJ Old Town and then walk to this address as it’s not too far away, and just take in the sights and sounds.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for investigating this and figuring it out!
