Basically, if it's an -ly adverb, it's abundantly clear what's going on. If it's a word that can be an adjective or an adverb, then you use the hyphen to make it clear what's going on ("a poorly timed effort" vs. "a well-timed effort," "a quickly moving car" vs. "a fast-moving car"). I think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just shared an elevator ride with one of the associates here, and while I talk to her fairly often, I guess every time I've seen her lately she's been sitting down, because I came very close to saying "OMG you're really very pregnant" to her because she looks like she's about 7 or 8 months along, and I didn't even know she was pregnant.
I'm glad I didn't do that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, there was a woman that looked pregnant in the restaurant the other day drinking a glass of wine. I totally wanted to high five her, but that's presumptuous on top of assuming. With a side order of NOT MY BUSINESS.
No one is pregnant until they tell me, or go into labour in front of me, or possibly both. Note to self.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just turned on my heat. It's supposed to be 70 today. 80 tomorrow. Why does my body, in making antibodies, always decide to feel like crap for a few days? I really need to put work aside for the day or at least a nap. Can't brain - obviously.
Need to put on fuzzy socks. Fuzzy socks make stuff better.

Librarian Warlord
Dear Professors & Deans,
If you plan on violating copyright, please do not ask the librarians to help you. For example, don't say, "But couldn't you just Google me a copy?" because you sound like an idiot.

Also, I just burst into tears because someone came in to tell me they thought I did well in an interview yesterday about Sassafras, and that maybe I should get my own show. Tears, because I don't want my own f'ing show, I want my dog.

Wow, that's a huge dose of missing the point. Sorry, Sparky.

Those are adorable and actually look super easy.
Oh, Sparky, I'm sorry.

Poor Sparky.
If either of us were huggers or even in the same room, I'd probably be hugging you right about now.

How to look 'amazing' in pictures. She doesn't mention genetic jiggering, which is probably also useful.
