This is an interesting find...

I, too, have ridges in my nails, just like every other older person in my family. I was told that it was a sign of aging, and that the nails simply need to be buffed to get rid of the ridges. It does work, but it had not occurred to me that there might be an underlying problem.

By a strange coincidence I was just thinking about this yesterday and wondering what this and that meant. Looks like my nails are healthy. Thanks for the seed.
