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 ( 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...

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.

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