"I remember milk came in waxed cartons..."
Believe it or not, I can remember when milk came in glass bottles and was delivered by a milk man. I also remember my mom always buying oranges to squeeze for juice, since my dad was diabetic we ALWAYS had OJ in the house. Frozen concentrate must have saved her hours of work. And I am not that old! Only 46, my kid was born in 86. And that milk was delivered to a 12 story NYC apartment building.
I always envied my grandmother (1888 - 1985) for living through such changing times, but I might be giving her experiences a run for their money. Grandma seemed to hold up well, I'm feeling pretty exhausted.
I remember the milk man. I thought that was the greatest job in the world for some reason.
We had a milkman and a vegetable man. It was a good thing cuz we only had one car (also one phone, one TV, one bathroom) which my dad took to work.
I'm 46 too but had my kids in the 90's. I'm pooped!
