    Tomlin should just get Omar Khan to manage his finances. LOL. You're right in what you said though. If you were really rich you'd have so many hangers on and leeches and moochers trying to take advantage of you it wouldn't even be funny. If you didn't keep a close tab on your finances you could easily be swindled out of millions by your "friends". That happens to a lot of "rags to riches" people. To whom much is given much is required.

    PC Richards is probably the next biggest by me, then maybe Sears. I hadn't thought about how little competition there is until Shaner asked that question, I just always go to Best Buy.

    We don't have PC Richards down here. We do have Sears though. Sears sorta branched off or something and also have a division called A&E. They are like the people that service their products. My uncle worked on lawnmowers for Sears for years and then got basically transferred to be an employee of A&E just out of the blue a few years ago.

    best buy apparently are not doing too well either
    not surprising last time I was in one it took about five minutes to find someone who knew how to do a cash payment

    If I'm not mistaken, Sears filed chapter 11, so won't be much longer until they aren't around anymore either.

    They are scaling back and closing some stores, including the one where I live, but I don't think they've filed bankruptcy...yet.

    Yeah I think that was the reason they started splintering off in to smaller companies. I don't know if they actually filed but they were in dire straits. The same goes for K-Mart. Do you guys have them up there? They are still around down here but don't do NEARLY as much business as Wal-Mart.

    K-Mart is actually owned by Sears. We've still got one of those.

    No one is saying how much the mortgage is. It's actually smarter/less of a headache to finance the home instead of paying cash in most instances/

    We've got two in Knoxville. They actually sorta make me sad when I go in them because they're so sparsely populated and in comparison to Wal-Mart they are basically like the "little guy". I mean they just absolutely can not compete. Wal-Mart crushes them.

    I think it would have been nice to see and it might shed some light on why or what happens with team some times.

    I know of a guy who when interviewing ( for service technicians in his motorcycle dealership) would check out the potential employee's car. If the car was trashy on the inside, he wouldn't hire them based on the premise, if you can't take care of your stuff then why would you take car of his?

    But the other side is... I don't care how or what happens in his home life as long as it isn't affecting the team.
