True Story: Light Headed?

After a long day of work, I was relieved. I had been working since 4pm in a circuitry lab, working on the next big project. I observed the sun just starting to descend as I started to walk out to my car. All of a sudden, however, I had an urge to sneeze furiously! If it's the middle of January on a windy day, what's happening here?

Five Siblings

Five siblings are they, their color is true;
One belongs to one, four are shared by two.
Connected together, some by locks;
Many meet their fate upon the rocks.
Arrange their initials, and you should
Find things that are found in a neighborhood.

My offerings, by you, no longer diminished
Once your prepared list has finally been finished

You will probably need some help along the way
With all of the items that you wish to convey

Those tech-savvy who would rather my aisles bypass
May choose to make their selections through tempered glass

Some may employ that with smarts but without a soul
Relieving them of their buying decision role

You always have the choice to turn to a rival
But you'll be needing our wares for your survival

In SynoRhyme, you are given a pair of words. Each of these words has a synonym, and these two synonyms rhyme. Your challenge is to figure out what these two words are.

For example, given the words "lure" and "excellent", you would need to determine the two answer words "bait" and "great", which are synonyms of "lure" and "excellent" respectively, and which rhyme.
The hint gives you the first letter of the first answer word for each word pair. So, for this example, the hint would be "b" (the first letter of "bait").

Good luck and have fun!

In Letter Hop, letters "hop" from one word to the next.

For each word in the list (except the first word), form two new valid words firstly by adding a letter which is removed from the previous word, then secondly by removing a different letter to form the second new valid word. This letter that is removed must then be added to the next word in the list. The removal of the letter from the first word in the list must also result in a new valid word. The sequence of the existing letters in each word must not be changed.

For example, given:
1. SINGE
2. RIND
3. MEANER

the answer would be:
1. SINGE - G = SINE
2. RIND + G = (G)RIND - D = GRIN
3. MEANER + D = MEAN(D)ER - A = MENDER

Good luck!
