Patty, check the owners manual for the programming of those features. You should be able to do a reset, though it may involve turning the key to different ignition positions, pushing buttons, and oddball things. I do that with my vehicles because they seem to come set to unlock all of the doors as soon as the engine is turned off. No thanks, I want to unlock the door myself, or doors, depending on circumstances. (If you don't have the manual, one of the online manual sites should have a free PDF copy to download.) The manual with my Nissan Pathfinder is the size of a modest dictionary and I still occasionally find new things that I didn't realize it can do because I skimmed through to find the essentials first.

Okra is an African vegetable and I find the African recipes offer remedies for the slimy consistency. For example, my Middle Eastern cookbook includes North African countries and describes soaking okra in vinegar to remove that consistency. The way I most often fix it is to moisten it and roll it in a mix of seasoned cornmeal (like the fish fry mixes) then into shallow oil.

We had our first "there's someone at the door" test with Pepper in the mix, and we had a suitably attentive crew who barked at the door and came into my office to bark at me to tell me someone was at the door. A guy trying to convince me to change my Internet service. I told him he needs a license to peddle in the village. The iron and glass security door was never opened so I didn't have to worry about catching dogs by the collars when I opened the solid wood door.
