The 1st Eviction - Where It All Began

In many places in the  country, Justin Case has some extra space to lurk. They are some of his most favorite playgrounds. These are called basements and attics.

A little background:
About 2007 or so, my sister and her husband bought our family farm in Stanton, NJ from my parents. The basement, in particular, was completely full from my grandparents house, which was cleaned out when they passed on. Therefore, almost 35 years of accumulated stuff had to go. Where, you ask? To the garage of my parents house, "down the shore" in Brick, NJ. A place we like to call the Pocher Palace on the Bay.

 Justin languished in style in his new digs, while the car was forced to endure the sweltering sun and hair curling humidity in the summer and frigid temperatures, ice and road salt in the winter.

Enough is enough! We brought in the big guns... my brother, Rich

and Justin's mortal enemy... A DUMPSTER!!!!

G-ma and G-pa took the kiddies off to Chuck E Cheese's (where a kid can be a kid) and we got to work.

We were ruthless - but it HAD to go!
Dang, we filled that sucker up! Boxes of vases from long wilted, FTD flowers, mismatched china, baskets galore, broken chairs, old bicycles, trailer hitches from long gone cars and more rope than you would need to rig an old time sailing ship. Even the leaky old row boat was tossed.

Welcome To Evicting Justin Case

This is the very first post to what I hope will be an exciting, dynamic blog that has the potential to change your life.

Justin Case - Who is he??? Why does he need to be evicted??? What did this poor guy do??? Are we putting someone out on the street to become HOMELESS????

You may be asking these questions, but most people already are quite familiar with this elusive character. 

Justin Case lives in all our homes and minds and says things like:

" Save it, you will need it...someday."

"If 1 pair of black pants is good, 27 pairs are better."

"I got that shot glass at my best friend's cousin's wedding."..18 years ago.

" I neeeeeeeed that recipe card, I can't find it anywhere else"...except on the back of the box.

"All those Martha Stewart wedding issues are still good"...you were married 15 years ago.

" But is was on sale!"... 8 years ago and it still has the tags on it.

"Its my wedding china!"...then get it out and use it! Don't wait for the queen to come to dinner!

"It matches my black pants."... yea, so does everything else, they are BLACK PANTS!

"I'll wear it when I loose weight."... you lost weight, gained weight, lost weight and still don't wear it!

"It may come back in style." ... as a Halloween costume.

We need to save all this stuff... Just In Case.

But you really don't! Your home, your mind and your life will be cleaner, clearer and less cluttered. 

Let's get started...
