- Keep the doors locked unless I’m using them. Just in case a burglar knows I’m alone and tries to walk in.
- Stick extra pillows on his side of the bed. The pillows are basically insulation because our bedroom is chilly at night.

Trello Gold Review

I recently posted about trying out Trello and was grateful that a couple readers signed up for Trello with my referral link, which gave me a couple free months to try out Trello Gold. According to the informational page for the Gold version, it provides several additional services for users:
- Attachments up to 250 mb (a standard user can add attachments up to 10 mb)
- Nine premium backgrounds and the ability to upload other background images
- Premium stickers to add to cards besides the standard ones and the ability to upload other sticker images
- The ability to upload an emoji if the hundreds available to standard users are not quite right
