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...

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.
