Let's see if I remember how to spoiler.
Spoiler[spoiler=Guessing]Ivy (IV)[/spoiler]
Edit: I clearly do not remember.
Neither applies.
It is definitely food-based, with a slight hint in the title as well for specificity.

Hi Laurh, & welcome! Interesting riddle. Here are some musings -
Makes me think of
SpoilerHappenings on a cellular level - disease or mutation perhaps, though neither would be a great fit (from my limited knowledge).
Glucose would fit a number of your clues reasonably well, including chaise (chair conformation of glucose).
Another guess, in a completely different direction
SpoilerWould be taxes. (Always certain.)

Initial thoughts:
While my thoughts initially jumped to something like a sailor or a witch, I feel like it might actually be food/diet related due to "not watched by children/fools" and "salty/crusty" and "dinnertime." "sound a bit crazy" could be a reference to bananas, but the rest of the rhyme doesn't fit, and "while moving" doesn't really apply here...
I'm going to guess a crab.
> salty attitude & crusty skin --> crustacean
> could sound a bit crazy / get off my lawn --> "crabby"?
Hiya peace! Good to "see" you still around. Hope all is well!
You're onto the right general idea after your initial thoughts, but this guess is boiled. (& hopefully picked & dipped in butter.)

Answer!

This little riddle was inspired from a news article about finding the story.

I'll bump this in case there is interest. (& sincere apologies, I didn't realize I had an open riddle remaining.) Not one of my better offerings, so also a bit of a re-write:
-
I'm neither ugly nor watched by children
-
But fall afoul of my salty attitude and enjoy my crusty skin
-
Though I could sound a bit crazy, I'm not a fraud
-
Especially while moving
-
Get off my lawn, it's dinnertime
Hope to check in on the Den now and again.

the truth?
There's mine, there's yours, but neither is the answer.

your tongue?
On a regular basis, but not what I'm looking for here.
LJ! How the heck've you been? Long time no see around here.
---- dD, that goes for you too.

9 from 6 = IX away from SIX = S
10 from 9 = X away from IX = I
50 from 40 = L away from XL = X
& you're left with SIX

nuts?
mushrooms?
the ocean?
None of the above, sorry.
probably to be found in the 1st line.

Not your lucky guess.

But my salty attitude could get under your skin

An interesting thought, & yet I would also posit that most people are not the exact same person they were even 1 year ago. (No, I have no evidence or citations.) Some may consider themselves a different person from yesterday, though that may not happen every day. However, the same person as began reading your question? Yes, I would consider myself the same, as my following thoughts are things I have considered before.
I think it has less to do with cell regeneration/replacement as with experience. There is some evidence of "cell memory" (especially, examples with some people who've had organ transplants & exhibit different personality traits post-op), & this may hold true, but most people don't have that situation to deal with. Life, living, & personal growth happen with time & experience, & those can change a person slowly or rapidly depending on the person & their particular understanding they gain through their experiences. Likely also, the way in which they can interpret those experiences.
I think there are both genetic/physical brain structure & experiential components that make up a person, especially their personality & mental state. So if a personality were imprinted upon a "wiped" or "blank" brain with a different genetic or physical signature, there would be differences, though they may not be immediate or immediately noticeable.
The more interesting question to me is, If my brain could be removed & fully re-engaged without damage or loss into some sort of host, would "I" still remain? Would there be a host in which I could continue to function as myself, continue to learn, experience, & grow? Or would there be a lack of "soul" or some essential part of the body/brain/personality mash-up that would render the brain simply an AI processor to an automaton?

Welcome to the Den Adrian! Hope you enjoy your time here.
Like Slick said, if you can be more specific in what you're looking for, we can be more helpful. We're very helpful people around here.

Yes, indeed!
Neither swan (ugly duckling) nor goose (watched by a gooseherd)
Afoul (a fowl), Salty crusty skin (points more specifically to Peking Duck)
Sound, crazy - Quacks
Moving - Migratory ducks
Lawn - Food sources for ducks include various grasses (& Also, they leave a mess.)
Title of Peek-a-boo - One might duck out of sight while playing, and Peek indicative to Peking
