Liz Smith on Social Security, AARP and the 'Stigma' of Being a Senior


Liz Smith
I sure am enjoying them. I get a neat check from Social Security, which is helpful. I get those cheaper tickets to movies and I ride the Third Avenue bus for a mere tinkle of $1.10. I am a member of AARP and love it and the magazine. When AARP gave me a party in Bel Air some few years ago, there were four Oscar winners in the mix, plus Nora Ephron, Della Reese, Larry King and a host of other big names. What’s the stigma of being a senior? It’s just a word.

I love every minute of it!! Especially the perks and discounts!! My logic is that as long as I don’t look it, or act it - the # is just a number on the calendar and who cares about that???!!!

And not even a four letter word at that.

Peace and grace

Okay, if YOURE a member I’ll sign up!  My friends all joke when the ‘invitations’ to join start coming in the mail.  Otherwise, I have a few years to go in order to get the discounts :)  I do like their magazine, too.
