I spent the weekend describing Fix with varying degrees of articulacy.  One of my favorite conversations went like this:

text #1: what if you need to buy shoes
megan: i have at least 10 pairs
text #2: and if your phone breaks?
megan: let's hope that doesn't happen
phone call: "ok, then, what about a manicure?"
megan: "um, I'm not sure.  When you get a manicure are you paying for the nail polish or the experience of a manicure?"  (I think at it's most fundamental it's an experience, really, but never having had a manicure, 2007 won't be the time to start.)

"Wait, so you're allowed to buy experiences but not things?  But you have to buy food, right?  Are you eating in restaurants?"

"No, I'm not eating in restaurants"

"What?! Who came up with these rules?  Don't tell me you're the director of it?!"

"Yeah, I am. I made up the rules."  

"Can I buy you food? My sister says no manicures.  You know what, I can buy you stuff, I'll just buy you things." 

This guy has given me some of my favorite books but I can't remember any other stuff he's bought me besides food in the 18 years I've known him.  I'm looking forward to how this conversation will continue.
