5 I feel dirty with my hair this long and dirty.

6 You're lucky to have met him/that you met him.

7 You can't (afford to) be in a hurry. (is "afford to" optional?)

8 What's the difference if I go to my room or if I stay here.

9 She used her peripheral vision to see if anyone was near enough to have potentially smell her gas.

10 If you change channels I won't know when she is/comes on (the other channel) (talking about an actress in a movie)
