I pulled into the church parking...early for a change...and when I turned "Raven" off the car doors locked and the alarm went off!!! I had no idea what had happened and how to make it stop! I couldn't get the doors to unlock or the alarm to stop. I was a prisoner in my own car...in the church parking lot. I felt SO dumb! LOL I finally started the car again and started pushing bottons...you know, like our parents do/did when they panic! I pushed all the buttons on my car remote and started flipping the locks backs and forth. Finally after a couple of minutes the doors unlocked and the alarm stopped. It was just the strangest thing that has ever happened. All's well now and we made up.

I'm sitting here waiting for the foot of snow to arrive that Pam and Janet have kindly sent this direction. So happy my new job is only 5 minutes from home tomorrow! I "could" strap on snowshoes and trudge over there if I had to. I've got all-wheel drive on my car so I should be ok when I have to leave at 11:15 tomorrow morning for my first day.

It was just crazy Shirley Sue.

I'll be working 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and yes it's a full time permanent job...5 days a week. I can't wait to get started! Just wish it wasn't going to snow all night tonight.

Hi Blu, what a weird thing to have happen with your car. Glad it stopped.


I'm excited for you and your first day on the new job. I hate that the weather will be snowy again. Hope you have a great day and that the travel is safe.


Hugs,


Melissa

Now, are you quite sure your car's name isn't Christine?

Gosh, Blu, maybe you or your car just required some extra attention. lol


It sounds like you have a short and a couple of wires rubbed together.


At least the car started.


Hugs,

LOL...yes, I do remember that! I thought maybe I had hit the panic button by accident too but when those locks all went down...whoa!!

The strange thing was, I had just taken it in for servicing on Sat. and they had it on the diagnostic machine and everything checked out AOK!

It was just one of those freak things. LOL
