You're right, RAME -
I do indeed feel like shooting the **** thing. I don't have a gun, though I wish I did have one at times like this.

Unfortunately, LadyChardonnay...
Our village building codes require that our smoke alarms be the type of alarms that cannot be disabled. They're electronic with battery backup. Therefore, you broil a steak or boil a pot of water for pasta, and it goes off. You can't shut it off.

kidnykid,
What a pain! It probably makes you feel like taking a gun and shooting the durn things down. 
Best of luck getting things under control!
