I live in an apartment complex. I am coming upon my 2 years living here. The past two summers I have had this fight with the leasing office about the birds that build nests on the stairs. I live on the third floor. When I walk up the stairs, the birds swoop at my face (because of their nests that are underneath the steps). I am terrified of birds (I know it sounds stupid, but I am). I usually run up the stairs to get to my apt, but I am terrified I will fall on my face one day. I have had many days where I am carrying something down the stairs and they swoop at my face. I have repeatedly asked the leasing office to put wire or a board underneath the steps so they cannot nest there, but they refuse. Do I have a case if I get a lawyer or attorney involved? If they put a piece of plywood under the steps, they have no way to nest. If they put wire under the steps, they have no way to nest. Makes sense - but they refuse. If I fall down the stairs because of the birds - is it their fault? Does anyone know how I can find out?

I'd like the board to be small, so it can be put away. My cousin wants one for christmas. She is 8 and is really into tap dancing. I have found a few online but they are in the hundreds of dollar range. Anyone have any ideas?

I had surgery back in August, and I have scars that I was told not to allow sun to get too -- since they will burn so easily. I am going on a cruise in a few weeks and I'd like to cover them up as much as possible. So does anyone know of anything that I can do to cover them up... BESIDES just applying sunscreen or wearing a tshirt? One scar is on my arm and the other is on my shoulder. Also, any way to get rid of the scars easily? Thanks :)
