    You have a pattern on your nails which is genetically controlled.  Check with your family for fun to see who else has it, siblings or parents, etc.  I also have them, they run vertical down each fingernail.  It is a recessive trait, not many have it.  We are collector's items, I guess...

    bustieone - I have these too - I did not think it to be a genetic problem - I have these only recently and thougth it was old age or perhaps not rubbing stuff into the nail. I am not sure what kind of a collectors item I would be - perhaps an inexpensive antique.

    maybe I can sell myself to an antique shop ;-)

    Good info here...http://voices.yahoo.com/what-causes-ridges-fingernails-can-782677.html

    I have these too. I heard it means you're going to have a heart problem. . My aunt had them in her 50s and 60s on her thumb nail, mostly .......like I do ; and she lived to be 83. Back in the 80s, a male nurse I worked with told me if you have those creases in your earlobes, it means you're going to have a heart problem. He did end up having a by-pass. But, he smoked.  I have those crease in my ear lobes too. My aunt had them too.  Oh, well, we're all going to have a heart problem if we live long enough.

    They say we will all get cancer if we live long enough! Cheery thoughts, Huh? I have had a femoral catherization (had side effects of Celebrex) they thought I had a coronory issue. The results made cardiologist say, you are going to die of something, someday, but I guarantee, it will not be heart related! I was squeeky clean in there, so I put no faith in the ridged nail theory, and I have had them since childhood...

    A unique blending of the dive-oriented specs you'd expect from the Aquis along with subtle yet powerful references to the original animated link retelling of link The Monkey King, the Aquis Sun Wukong Limited Edition pays homage to the storied history of the character as told through the lens of the acclaimed Wan link Brothers 1961 film, The Monkey King: Uproar In Heaven in honor of its 60th anniversary.
