Here's to a fruitful new year, Peggy Penny...full of newfound piano chops and your always-intriguing lyrical posts. Look forward to hearing “Mouse Can't Hide”!

from ernst :

Curious, as a guitar player, how you differentiate E from Fb in the context of the same composition?

from portlypete :

“Douglas Adams” sigh.

from portlypete :

Many thanks for your note. Sometimes, when something is really broken, it is easier to build it again from scratch than to patch it. I can’t comment as to whether that applies to your government. Regarding electric cars, you may have heard a quote by Doublas Adams: “I love a deadline, I like the whooshing sound it makes as it flies by!”. In my experience, something similar applies to UK government targets - they tend to stretch like Pinocchio’s nose. So, I won’t be surprised if it takes far longer to achieve a totally electric car fleet in the UK than they promise. The charging infrastructure is nowhere near in place; remember, all the power that runs our cars comes from fossil fuels at the moment and it is almost pointless to just turn those fuels Into electricity to power cars - it needs to be generated from “green” sources or nuclear (and it takes at least ten years to build a reactor). The UK has had car scrappage schemes in the past to encourage owners of unfriendly cars to ditch them and buy new, so such a scheme might sugar the pill of replacing one’s perfectly serviceable vehicle. We live in interesting times.

Simmer a bunch of chunked broccoli crowns in water for about 2 hours. Puree them in that water either in a blender or with a stick blender. Return to stove and simmer a bit longer if too thin. When it's at your fave consistency, add a can of coconut milk, a dollop of Sriracha, and taste. Add a little brown sugar for a boost, if you can tolerate sugar. If you don't like coconut milk, just the broccoli soup plain with a little brown sugar (if needed) is excellent on its own. The long simmering blows off the bitter component. It's the only way I can stand the stuff.

from dangerspouse :

"Wifey2"? She's "Wifey1"! Never had another - the "NEW Wifey" designation is a joke I mentioned in several entries. I won't bore you with a repeat, but just know she's my first, my one, and my only :)

from dangerspouse :

Thanks for the return note, PP! It was very sweet of you to ask. No, I'm not off the air. Our network set all us announcers up with home studios (I posted a pic an entry or so back that my wife took while I was on the air...in my SpongeBob pants). Hope you're doing well also! :)

from dangerspouse :

Hey, I just stopped by to say hi and see how you were doing. Glad to see you're still posting your out-there creative blasts! Keep on keepin' on, babe :)

from whaleart :

Cool lyrics -- love the template, also :D

from poetinthesky :

Hello, your songwriting is really good! Do you have anything recorded?

from floodtide :

Thank you for your note. Username: recondite Password: phoenix.

from darktruth :

also by "i write weird things" i just mean my life is super weird and kinda fucked up & since nobody else reads my diary i write whatever i want & it's always weird & fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from whystinger :

So did you read 50 Shades or watch the movie? Just curious.

from darktruth :

hi! i just saw your note. we can be pals :) i keep my journal locked because i just write weird stuff in it. it's kind of my place to wordvomit everything out. also my profile is like 8 years old. i've had my diaryland account since 2001. it can legally drive.

from musikoid :

Done.

from whystinger :

Giddy up giddy up Giddy up up up!

from whystinger :

Yes, the people carrying wood was the one I was talking about. Love the Wwe. Reminds me of the WWF lol.

from i-am-jack :

Thank you for your note. With a lot of nasal spray, benadryl and sleep the ear finally cleared up. It was such a relief when it finally popped back out. It was probably just a blocked ear canal. It sounds like you are amazing at meditation and probably lucid dreaming, maybe even lucid living. I have pretty severe noise sensitivity and live in a noise polluted area. In the summer my headphones are my best friend.

from whystinger :

The edit deletes puzzle me a lot... I hope you are having some fun.

from whystinger :

Hello Peggy. Sorry that I haven't been around much nor have I been on email. I have been consumed with cleaning up the trees I lost to hurricane Irma. I lost nine large trees (oak and camphor) and then lost two more due to damage. Most of the clean up is done, but it will still take a lot of time. I still have one large tree trunk down in the front yard and five large tree stumps that need to be removed. Now I'm back to work and trying to catch up from med leave.

from musikoid :

Thanks, Peg - I'll write soon, and also post them on my lyrics page. Right now my life's topsy turvy and I'm getting ready to go busk at the Farmer's Market. Made $50 plus in tips last time (in two hours!). One thing about this hippie town is they sure know how to tip a musician. And this was at the 8-10am slot, too. :)

from musikoid :

Ah yes. I almost concluded we had a conscious creative connection, but considered it most cautious (and courteous) to query concerning coincidence. I'd love to send you my own lyrics, somewhat compatible in context. In fact, this has compelled me to complete them, as I recall having burned out about 3/4 through. Perhaps we can correspond?

from musikoid :

Hey thanks Peggy! That made my day. It's not very often anybody ever tunes into my music. So that means something to me. Oh - on another note, it's funny, but did you see my song called "Pack of Lies?" I just read you entry. Not to get into your personal, but I guess something went wrong in that area. Sorta been there. I hope things work out.

from musikoid :

VERY nice stuff, Peggy. You put me to shame. I only have electronic tracks - there are lyrics to those tunes, I just don't sing them & don't have singers. I have piano stuff at EDENINBABYLON.COM if you look hard enough. But yes, great work - thanks for tuning me in. :)

from berkinix :

Thank you so much for your birthday wishes, and especially for the video. I really liked it! I need one of those swatters for my car, but I'm not sure I should be using one of those while I'm driving...

from whystinger :

Ah, I got locked out now... must have been from the Chucky's back comment... Sent an email to say hello. HELLO!

from whystinger :

He's back? Who is back? Is it Chuckie that is back???

from jarofporter :

thanks for the advice. unfortunately, remembering how love feels would be required in order for me to not be lying...

from jarofporter :

oh, and 'the horse's end'? too true.

from candoor :

Smiling sideways :)

from barefootruby :

one day I'll write something to explain how the UK electoral system works!

from whystinger :

Hi Peggy. I am getting along, learning and trying to move from surviving to thriving. How are you?

from whystinger :

Hello

from whystinger :

Well, I haven't heard any jokes about it.

from whystinger :

I haven't heard many jokes about the probing... yet.

from whystinger :

Well, long ago I could read music. It has been a long, long time since I have read music notes. I still have a trumpet, but have not played it in ages.

from dangerspouse :

YOU SURVIVED! I sacrificed a stuffed goat to Cthulhu, and he (it?) heard my prayer! LOL. Rest up and get better soon, babe. Thanks for letting me know in my Notes :)

from dangerspouse :

That was some quote :)

from eloira :

Thanks, truly! Incidentally, I connect with 2E. Thanks for writing those words too x

from dangerspouse :

Nice! I could never remember those lyrics though....

from dangerspouse :

There are women who DON'T lie about having an orgasm?? Wow. Learn something new every day....

from dangerspouse :

Hi PP! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Lol - no, I don't have a brother (just 4 sisters, alas). "A clown killed my brother" is just an old joke line that you hear a lot. Or at least, I do :)

from dangerspouse :

I did hear that, yes. Great news. Sprinkles are evil. One killed my brother!

from dangerspouse :

Ha! ALL my recipes call for real mayo, heavy cream, butter, etc. No fake food for THIS paragon of health, thank you :)

from dangerspouse :

Woooooo, great catch on that old recipe file! You gonna make any of them retro dishes?

from integrating :

Hey! Thanks for the birthday wishes...I name all my entries with the song I happen to be listening to when I finish writing. I go through phases where I obsess over a band. Just been introduced to Burden Brothers. I don't listen to the radio basically because it's all crap, so I have my itunes loaded with music I like. Always been in love with Joan Jett...I shudder to think what would happen to me if I dumped shampoo on Sam's head..but that is a great visual. *smirks*

from integrating :

Hi...thanks for the note! I can't wait to see the new Johnny Depp movie.

from dangerspouse :

"Danger joke"! Makes the whole song :)

from retro-cat :

Hey Penny, groovy twitter btw! Love your hat box and hat. Thanks for sharing. :)

from integrating :

"Quoting movies is wonderful fun. Next time you are meeting someone for the first time: "I run a couple of newspapers, what do you do?" (Citizen Kane)" Ooh, that's a good one! haha!

from integrating :

Found it. I am officially the creepy girlfriend.

from integrating :

I know I quoted, "It rubs the lotion on its skin", but I can't find it!

from integrating :

Hi. Is quoting movies good or bad?

from peace4allboy :

Great goals! I like the breakdown! You'll surpass those goals and we'll be seeing you in the olympics! Waking up naturally without an alarm is a super idea. I never thought of that. It can't be good for the body to be forced into 'awareness' by a blazing loud alarm every morning.

from dangerspouse :

Thank you, PP, for the sweet, sincere note at my place. It was heartfelt advice. And that was a lovely tribute to your mother. My condolences on her passing.

from dangerspouse :

LOL! Turkey tacos? Alas, that's one culinary creation I sadly never mastered. Or even attempted. But if I ever do, I'll mail you out the leftovers!

from peace4allboy :

Thank you! I remind myself of my goals constantly which is why I always look like a madman and repeat them constantly on my diary!! (over and over)! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!! ;)

from dangerspouse :

I heard your cry for help. What's up, kiddo?

from dangerspouse :

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Penny. Hope you had too much good food today :)

from retro-cat :

Hiya Peggy, yah Die Antwoord is fun!

from cloudy-night :

It was so nice of you to save that puppy. I know some people would've just wait for his demise in delight.

from dangerspouse :

Thank you very much for the car advice, Penny. And good luck with your new one! :)

from dangerspouse :

I'm glad you liked them :)

from cloudy-night :

I agree, ignorant is bliss. And I realize that clairvoyance would make life unexciting. So I only wish to have it in occasional bouts. Knowing what will occur every so often would be okay, right?

from dangerspouse :

Hi Peggy - your pies look gorgeous! Great recipes, thanks for posting the link to them. You are some cook, kiddo. Did you see the entry I did a little while ago about making apple pies inside of apples? It's at: http://dangerspouse.diaryland.com/131012_18.html . The first pic is the pie I made while I was trying to perfect my crust recipe. I've been using the food science trick of replacing some of the ice water with vodka. You can see the results - nice and layered pastry, and very tender. As a fellow baker I thought you'd appreciate that :) (I'll shoot you an e-mail with the terrine recipe. Yes, it really was as good as it look. It was even better today as leftovers. Like some soups and tomato sauce, I think the 24 hour rest let a lot of the flavors meld.)

from dangerspouse :

That is one persistent bird!

from jaysthoughts :

Just checking to see how many diarylanders still actually check their notes and stay active.

from dangerspouse :

Yay! Then my mission here is complete. Glad you got a chuckle :) Ok, I've gotta get back to work here. The mid-day portion of my shift keeps me hopping. Later, gator!

from dangerspouse :

Sure, fire away! I looooooove to cook, so if you print it, I'll make it. Thanks :)

from dangerspouse :

I get it! Lol. (And thanks for sticking up for correct pronunciations. This dangerous spouse is touched :) )

from dangerspouse :

Lol. I barely speak English. So no - no habla Espagnole :)

from dangerspouse :

Were they good empanadas?

from dangerspouse :

No need to apologize. I'm fascinated by your ability to discern things that no one else does. Must be a lonely road you set down, no?

from dangerspouse :

By the way, I meant to thank you for posting the base of your chowder recipes. It's always good to have a base recipe you can riff off of, so you're not hidebound to an ingredient list. Bravo! (Maybe you should send it to the Russians. Who knows - they might like it better than borscht, and leave you alone out of sheer gratitude!) :)

from dangerspouse :

Safe journeys until you return, then. Remember, there is still beauty, and truth, in the world. I wish you peace.

from dangerspouse :

Sorry I didn't get back to you regarding your previous note. I would love to see your version of any shellfish bisque! I go the classic route myself, pounding the shells into a paste, the whole 9 yards. But I've had some pretty good short cut versions as well. Always interested to see what sort of culinary wizardry people come up with!

from dangerspouse :

That's a great looking pinto bean recipe. I wouldn't have thought of using pear here, but it really looks good - particularly with the combination of cumin and cinnamon. Thanks for posting this!

from edwardpinhey :

No to the tattoo.

from dangerspouse :

Lol. Thanks for the Q-"TIP". Get it? See what I did there? Wheeeeee :)

from dangerspouse :

What did you say? What did you say?? (And...did you say "Password Protect"?)

from dangerspouse :

Lol. Yeah, I can imagine the audience reaction would be a collective gasp, then a letter writing campaign. I'm just glad the clutch between my brain and my mouth worked for once. Must have been some subconscious survival mechanism kicking in. Anyway, to answer your question I am a staff announcer for a network. Which basically means I am a professional sidekick (or content provider, if you want to be generous). I provide news, traffic, weather, co-hosting, etc., for stations within the network. Currently I'm on 9 different radio stations in the NYC area every day, with regular fill-ins on several others. I used to have my own show, but this was way more lucrative even if it's not as satisfying to the ego. Still, I love it :)

from dangerspouse :

Nifty banana bread recipe. Did you come up with that yourself?

from dangerspouse :

Ah, the guest book fiasco. There used to be a bona-fide Guest Book service here at D-Land. Lots of people signed up, myself included. But a couple of years ago it stopped being supported, and the domain was taken over by - well, by what you see when you click on it now. Everyone just knows to stick with Notes to comment, now. :)

from dangerspouse :

No problem. I never assumed it was you. You never know these days when a site may suffer some sort of attack. Don't worry, since yours was the only site I'd been to up to that point in the day I was able to track it down and get it wiped up pretty quickly (it was a browser attack fortunately, not a hard drive virus). Keep on keepin' on :)

from dangerspouse :

You're quite the writer. I have to admit, I prefer prose to poetry (not that there's much difference between the two any more, since the rise of free verse). Good stuff, PP! (And c'mon, fess up - you modeled Aggie Styles on me, didn' you? ;) )

from dangerspouse :

ha HA ha HAA! Yeah, you know how them girlfriends are. Yak yak yak yakkity yak yakkkkkity. Great joke, bud! :)

from dangerspouse :

Hey hey, sorry for my absence! It's not that you're "too boring" at all, at all. I was just medically forbidden from keyboard activity for a few weeks. Seriously. Don't take it askance! I should be back up and conversing normally shortly :)

from lonelyloser :

I've been cutting for about 15 years. I'm 30 now.

from edwardpinhey :

Peggy. Include "Fiction" in your program immediately as instructed, you forgot this new template. Otherwise, looks great. Keep up the "CLosed CAption" I love you, hows your berry? Pops

from dangerspouse :

Thank you very much for the advice regarding my voice. That was considerate of you :)

from dangerspouse :

HAHA! I finally figured out that your note was very, very funny! :)

from manvsdevil :

No probs for a fellow model builder! Was gonna join and put up pic(s) but don't think so, not my style at all and it feels weird like profiles are products 'cause you gotta like 'sell' yourself - no thanks! Anyway no need to be so deprecating you look good and are brave enough to 'net' yourself ;)

from manvsdevil :

Can't help with your cordoba problem apparently it's an up in the air color as is in the car industry so finding the model paint will also be elusive, idk find something similar and go for it?

from dangerspouse :

Lol. That certainly makes more sense in English. Thanks for the translation, and good luck finding your all too often elusive muse! :)

from dangerspouse :

Grazie!...I think :)

from dangerspouse :

Here ya go! One note, straight up. Ask and ye shall recieve. Unless it's money. You're on your own there, sister.

from manvsdevil :

Thank you for the compliment, it's a hit or miss affair - usually miss *truly* Your letter to PP is great! I hope it goes well.

from peggypenny :

usually the problem can be from your browser not compatible with your new system. Your browers is called, firefox or chrome, internet explorer... you go to your icon to go on the internet and right click on the icon. It will tell you the name. Go to my programs and go into the browser and reset the options to accept your security system. Peg

from retro-cat :

I took your advice on internet protection & i've recently had a security system put into my computer but my email is all screwed up now. I don't know if you've sent me any or not, so i guess its back to leaving each other notes here instead. btw, have a great trip!

from retro-cat :

try this link..she has incredible fashion!http://audrey.buzznet.com/user/

from retro-cat :

btw, did you get my email?

from retro-cat :

i'm gonna turn 22 end of march next year. thanks for telling me about those groovy clothing..they all sound great!! usually when i shop at h&m i'm a size 12, i got a really great leopard faux fur coat with hoodie & vintage buttons last week from there..i usually always go for anything retro in that store. Last time i went to the thriftshop, i got a 1970s yellow pastel short sleeve high neck polyester sweater & a 1960s black/white mod dress (very Twiggy), oh & a 1970s blue striped a-line skirt. Have you ever seen the film Ghost World??

from retro-cat :

oh wowwwww!! girl, love your style & you have one of the best voices ever, seriously!!

from retro-cat :

OMG..you had your own tv show for 12 years?? please tell me the name of your show, maybe i've heard of it or seen it. What songs have you written? You sound amaaaazing!!!! I often dream of owning my own thriftshop. That Jackie O outfit sounds groovy!! I hope you find a box hat to go with it. I've been searching for a round vintage luggage bag for eons. We have one really groovy thriftshop called Out of the Past which is super fun to go to..they have loads of stuff from the 60s/70s. Oh, & i'd love to see your youtube! Take Care. Jules.

from retro-cat :

hahaha..goldmember! it was goldfinger, but yeah there was goldmember with austin powers..anyways, glad to have helped you figure out how to add :) umm..nope no storms here, sunny but very very cold..i can't stand the cold..give me palm trees, humidity, laying on the sand any day. btw, i loooooooove your poetry!!! have you ever published any? or do you plan to?

from retro-cat :

i'm just wondering about something..i've added you, if you don't want to add me back or you don't want me to add you, please let me know :)

from retro-cat :

Thanks Penny for the info on the snake thingy for the sink, gonna look into this, and yay that you like thriftshopping too!! I'll definitely add you, add me too? Take care.
