I think in Plantersville they may still have SPITOONS at the stations but that may be an untruth.
I can assure you that Matagorda #7 still has spitoons placed around the Lodge- never seen anyone using them, though.
Never heard of a prohibition regarding crossing one's legs in Lodge either.
CROSSED LEGS:
A good Mason does not cross his legs while in the lodge room.
Why? Each member is expected to be open to the lesson to be learned that evening. Crossed legs are perceived to be physical evidence of a closed mind and are regarded as the member being inattentive to the lesson to be learned. It is also viewed as sloppiness of comportment, (how you are perceived by others). Crossed legs, slouching and leaning against walls, tables, etc. are considered to be a form of sloppy manners wherein others perceive you to be lazy ...just as you would not cross your legs in a job interview.

Its no big deal to have your leg crossed as long as you dont look like your bored too.
