A friend of mine recently retired early. I asked him how that's going. He said the trick is to keep living in the moment and not think forward I guess to keep from freaking out about it.
My mother in law lost track of days of the week after retiring too.

I think you may have Caps Lock on.
Hopefully nothing bad has happened again.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Anybody got any ideas about what might be wrong with a smoke alarm that keeps emitting a single 'chirp' at random intervals (sometimes a few seconds, other times a few minutes, then not for a hour or or two) driving me and the dog potty when not scaring one or the other of us half to death? It's hard wired to the mains so short of taking a brick to it and giving it a damned good thrashing (a plan of action becoming increasingly likely!) there's no way to disable it so fixes would be most welcome!

They typically start doing that when either:
a. The battery is going bad (even if the unit is connected to mains power)
2. The unit itself is going bad

Smoke alarms have a small amount of radioactive material (Am-241) and they are designed to last about ten years. (CO detectors only last about 5 years and the only way to stop the damn things bleeping is to cut a wire!) When they start to die, it's quite possible that they "bleep" randomly in the same way that battery operated ones do when the battery is dying.
If you've had it for a while, I'd replace it to be on the safe side. They aren't expensive, but the lack of them certainly can be! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
