i have a really odd habit of looking at peoples mouths when they talk. i am fairly short (often eye level with the chins of my peers), and tend to read lips in a noisy environment or other instances where i have trouble understanding people. Friends have commented on this before and i would really like to stop. Do you have any tips as to how to break this habit? thanks! (link)

Reading lips is a great talent, i wish I could...but here's a secret. When I have to make speeches/hear speeches, I look at the person's forehead/eyebrows-to the person, it looks like you're looking them in the eye, and you can focus on what they are saying instead of concentrating on maintaining eye contact...
Hope this helps

I'm having a camping party by the sea for my 18th birthday in July but the only campsite available is quite expensive.
The charge is £5 per head for camping and I want to invite 20+ people. My total budget for the party is £100. I'm providing food and drinks, and even tents for some people. Do you think it would be reasonable to ask my friends to help out with their camping fee and if so how much should I ask them for? I thought about asking for at least £2.50 each otherwise I'll have to severely limit the number of people.
Thanks.

For anything like this, asking for less that five pounds per person is acceptable...two-fifty is the perfect amount.

Whenever I babysit, the parents always ask me "How much do you pay per hour?". The truth is, I don't have a rate, and they always overpay me, which I don't mind :D, but I think it's impolite to take more than 15 dollars an hour. How can I politly set a reasonable babysitting rate that isn't too much or too little? (link)

Fifteen dollars. Wow.
Usually, it depends on the number or kids/how long...a decent rate is $4-$5 per hour per child.
