Use the remote?

Aftermarket or factory equipped ?

It's factory. And until we learn (the whole family) to adjust from the van
to the auto, we'll probably set it off another time or two.

It triggers when, for example, I get out to pick up the pizza and lock the
door with the button on my way out. Of course when I return, my arms are
full of pizza and whoever is inside will unlock the doors with the button.
This is a mistake. The doors should be unlocked with the key.

The saying we have come up with is that 'he who locks, unlocks.'

The alarm will cycle two or three times for two or three minutes each. I've
tried starting and driving and turning the key on and off and such to no
avail....it's either wait it out or disconnect the battery.

On our Blazer we just put the key in and start it up to turn off the factory
alarm. We have an aftermarket one (Viper, the biggest PITA...it came with
it) on there too though that does exactly what you describe.

That doesn't sound like a stock system, or there's a malfunction somewhere.
Generally, the stock system will be disarmed when the doors are unlocked
with the remote or with the unlock button. It also will be disarmed whten
the engine is started.

somewhere. 

You got that right, our family buys nothing but GMs and their alarm systems
are not finicky, sometimes they're even hard to get to go off. The only one
I've had it happen to is our 99 Blazer.

Forgot about this before but if you're trying to start the car and it won't
start it has to have an immobilizer in it and GM didn't use those that year
I believe. Can you look at the key fob and see if it has a number/make on
the back side and also if it has a light somewhere on the fob?

Are you sure that the engine has to be started? I thought the key has to go to
the ON position, but not necessarily to START.
