What’s on your mind?

Same here. Have you tried out Hide my Email on iCloud +? I use it when I sign up for community events, promotions, and anything I don’t want to use my real email address for. For instance, if you’re concerned about sharing your information online but still need to share an email address, it redirects to an email of your choice associated with your Apple ID. It’ll create funny email addresses with Apple.com addresses on it.

Additionally, you should consider giving private cloud relay a try. It provides better protection for your browsing on Safari and hides your IP address from the dark web and hackers.

On a personal note, y’all, I have some exciting news! I received an acceptance letter for my dream university, and I’m thrilled to be transferring there. It made my day!

Congrats.

Re email addresses. I have 3.

@me.com is the only one that I get alerts to on my iPhone. It's just for important stuff. Had it years. Get zero junk.

@gmail.com just use webmail when I need to access it. Used for shopping etc.

@yahoo.com used when you have to give an email address but I really don't want to or trust you. I check in about once every 6 months. Gets more spam than the other two but not that much.

One from earlier today to cheer you up @Scepticalscribe after a disappointing day (for you!) in North London.

Hey there! Do you still have a MobileMe email address? You had your Apple account for ages, mate! .mac.com email addresses are for Apple IDs from over two decades ago.

I use my iCloud.com email for iPhone updates, just like you. This one rarely gets spam. My Gmail is for applying for internships, jobs, online shopping, uni applications, and email forwarding. It gets spam sometimes, so I just empty it in the trash. All the rest, like filling out QR codes for community events, doing fundraisers, and other everyday stuff I don’t want to show my real email, I use the Hide my Email feature. That creates an automatic email forwarding from an email address that iOS generates for you. It forwards any email confirmation you used in the form or account to your email under your Apple account.
 
As far as tattoos are concerned: no thanks! I've had enough medical/surgical procedures done in my life to not want to deliberately ask for more.

Email accounts: as AFB has mentioned, I have several, and one of them, yes, is actually an original Mac dot com address, which I have cherished and appreciated in the many years I've had it.

Daffodils: ah, fabulous, wonderful heralds of Spring!!!! Bring 'em on.....I'm waiting!
