List of Buddies
 

I was thinking about the buddies I have, and I realized that I have an excellent list of guys I can turn to in any given situation and get expert advice for free (or in the worst case scenario, a case of beer). I would like to hear about the buddies you have, and the list you think you should have before you are really set for life...

My list:

Plumber
Electrician
Mechanic
Car Dealer
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)
Lawyer
Accountant
Physician (surgeon, really)
Gunsmith
Cop
Fly-In Fishing camp owner

My wish list:

Guy who works at Stadium and can get good/free tickets to concerts
Buddy who works at local Brewery ( :lol: I know, I know)
Travel Agent
Restaurant Owner
Carpenter
Video Store guy


Now, I don't put this list here to say:
a) that I use my friends,
b) you can only be my friend if I need your expertise;
c) I am shallow;

Because I am not. I make sure I do favours in kind, and that they are of the same magnitude of the recieving favour. I was just thinking about it, and was wondering what my fellow TFP friends thought...

thats what friends are for :p
helping out when they can...and it takes brains+trust to choose the friends you choose to be dependent on

It's an interesting question... but I've honestly never thought of friends, really people in general, in terms of what they can do for me...

Unless of course you are independently wealthy and are willing to buy me a house in the islands with a a scantily clad native beefcake fetching me cold bevereges and sushi... I could use one of those friends...

Let's see:

paramedic/nurse
college student

That's about it. I don't have a wide circle of friends.

Gilda

Electrician
Mechanic
Hair stylist
Computer tech
Security guard
Plumber
Chinese restaurant owners
Carpenter

That's all I can think of, off the top of my head.

Mates rates, nobody could live without em :D

I never thought about this either. Hmmm.....

3 Registered Nurses
2 Accountants
Lawyer
Speech Pathologist
2 Corrections Officers
Gas Station Owner
Legal Secretary
Multiple Cops
Carpenter
Car Salesman

I can't say that I have a wish list. I just go with whoever is a good friend.

Let's see... I have:

3 A/V geeks
10+ IT/programmers
10+ engineers
1 chef/baker
1 travel agent
2 cops
1 corrections officer
3 marines
1 sailor
2 commercial airline pilots
2 attorneys
3 real estate agents
2 photographers (1 art, 1 portrait/landscapes)
1 counseling psychologist
a crapload of musicians

Wishlist:

doctor/nurse/medic
accountant/financial advisor
mechanic
electrician
personal trainer
fairy godmother

The question is what advice can you provide to them should they need some.
