I do not cross my fingers because in ninth grade my rebbe told me you should not because one hand represents midos harachamim and one hand represents midos hadin and they should not be mixed. He also said that he knew someone who would cross their fingers a lot and he would tell them not to. He said the person died with their fingers crossed. I’m not trying to bring a point from that story but it is a little creepy. I always cut my fingernails out of order but does that apply to toenails as well? I also always cut both finger and toenails on the same day because it was convenient and I didn’t know otherwise, but now that I do I will iy’h try to do them on different days.
