The lesson of the day (Yesterday)
When your inner voice tells you to throw the safety lock (it makes it so even if the person has a key they can't get in unless you let them)...throw it.
I was working on a suprise for Jason last night and thought "what if he comes home early and catches me? Maybe I should throw the safety lock."
"Nah, I don't need to do that, he isnt' due for another hour an a half."
Shortly after this conversation with myself Jason can home an hour and a half early due to one of his horrendous headaches and opened the door. I flung myself towards the door, stepping on Scottie in the process and slammed the door in Jaosn's face while shouting "You can't come in yet!" "Give me two minutes"!
I flew around the room dispursing my suprise and making sure there was no trace left before I let him in- which resulted in letting Scottie escape from the apt and into the parking lot.
Luckly he is old and easily caught these days. I basically walked up to him and grabbed his collar.
Oh, and I bought a video camera off ebay for $40 including shipping so I'm pretty happy about that. I also won't be mad when someone breaks it (which will happen because the Heileprns - well Sis. Heilpern anyway- wants a video camera while Bro. Heilpern does not, which will result in many borrows. I witnessed Jennifer dropping the last camera they borrowed from me on the tile floor, so cheap is good since I can't think of a way to deny them permission with out making a big deal of the fact I totally expect them to break it sooner or later.)

Sounds like some excellent lessons. I wonder if slammed doors cure headaches?
reminds me of a story from middle school. i was at friend a's house waiting for friend b to arrive. we were setting up the video camera on a tripod to capture the hillarity we were planning. we were going to spray friend b with silly string when he opened the door. sure enough, when friend b got there, he walked right in while we were setting up. friend a shouted "not yet!" and slammed the door in his face. friend a's dad jumped up and shouted several curse words. funny stuff.
