All of adulthood is delayed these days. People are in their late 20s before they even get a "real" job in many cases.

Lots of dads had one of these baby
food jar racks in the 50's. Every
dads garage I went into had one.


My dad had one and it is still in my mom's garage. I doubt anybody has touched it since he died 4.5 years ago. When I was a kid I remember having to open every single jar to try to find a specific size screw or something and never finding one. The jars weren't clear like in your picture but opaque.

when my wife's father passed away, it was discovered he not only had a coffee can full of nails, but a separate coffee can full of *bent* nails just in case they would do


I thought my dad was cheap, but even he would throw away a bent nail, unless it were only a little bent.
