3 friends that are good to have

Yesterday I composed a list of friends you must have in every new city you move to. My list goes like this:

3 Very Important Friends to Have

1. A Doctor: A friend you can call at midnight on a Friday night to meet you at the hospital after your son brother gets his head bashed into a wall during a late night indoor soccer game and needs some stitches. True story. Or that same friend you can call to prescribe meds for your daughter who is 1,200 miles away and writhing in pain from a horrible ear infection because the doctors in her city won't do anything but prescribe useless antibiotics. True story.

2. A Mechanic: A friend who knows how to work on cars and has the tools and time required to help bail you out of an $800 repair job at the local shop. True story.

3. A Hairstylist: A friend who is superb at cutting and coloring hair, who works out of her home so you only have to pay a toe, instead of an arm and a leg, to get your hair fixed following a rash decision of dying your gorgeous blonde hair to dark brown only to realize a couple weeks later you want it blonde again. True story. 

So far in this new city we have only found one of those three. Although I guess we do still have some connections with Doctor-folk if needed. 

Now if only we could've found a mechanic friend before our car decided it needed all 4 brake pads and rotors replaced. Suppose we'll just have to keep making new friends and learning about current friends' hobbies.
