When we heard from "I Wanna Polish This Diamond In The Rough Till It Sparkles," she said her boyfriend was "a good human being," but there were a few things about him that bothered her.

Namely: His posture was so bad his back was hunched over. He shuffled his feet when he walked and his teeth were green. She thought they might all be related to the fact that his dead wife suffered from cancer for half of their married life and he was severely despondent for 10 years after her death.

Well, she's back to say that on further reflection, he's not a diamond. "He's not even a lump of coal. Lump, maybe."

There was a lot more to this story than we originally thought. There usually is. In fact, this guy sounds like a reality show in the making: "Slobs!"

"He's lazy and immature and has been shuffling through life because it's easier that way. He cuts his hair himself, very short, so he won't have to comb it. He wears the same clothes for a week and never bathes. There's an inch of dust on the microwave and on the counter tops. He keeps his dirty shoes on his kitchen table.

"He sleeps sitting up either in his clothes or jockey shorts on one spot on the living room couch. The couch is indented in that spot and smells like him! When he does sleep in his bed, he sleeps on top of the comforter so he doesn't have to make the bed.

"I bought him two sets of nice quality sheets and put them on the bed. His mattress was permanently indented where he has been sitting in the same spot for 10 years to put on his socks. The mattress and pad are permanently brown from never being rotated or changed.

"A bus stops in front of his huge living room window, but he still walks around in his dirty, grey jockey shorts (grey because he uses very little of his useless, cheap detergent).

"His toenails stick up on an angle because he's never cleaned under them or under his fingernails. Too much trouble, he said! But he likes it when I take care of myself with pedicures and manicures! And he wants my hair a certain way and color!

"He makes tons of money, but lives in a 700 square foot house. He told me that he bought all new (cheap) appliances and furniture when he talked his deceased wife into marring him. That was 30 years ago!

"Strips of old, shredded oil cloth are hanging in his kitchen cabinets. You have to stick your hand through them to get a dish that is so dusty you have to wash it before you can use it. When you open the kitchen drawers, they drop sawdust on the pots and pans below.

"He said he would buy new cabinets, and shopped around for months, but couldn't make a decision. After I mentioned he should get a remote control for his ceiling fan/light fixture, he threw it out, then shopped for a new one, again, for months. But once again, he couldn't decide which to buy. Then he complained he didn't have a light in that room, so he brought in a table lamp from the bedroom.

"In short, he's not all there. I've told 'Diamond' goodbye."
