We understand there are 5 physical senses that the human body has. People have tried to introduce various things as a 6th sense, but that is still nebulous.
Having observed current culture, I see the need to document the 5 cultural or social senses.
- Sense of entitlement
- Sense of outrage
- Sense of unoffendability
- Sense of awareness
- Sense of immediacy
But these 5 senses have come at a cost – they replaced other senses that had withered due to lack of use. Here are 5 senses that people used to have, and what they should have instead of the senses listed above:
- Sense of responsibility
- Sense of direction
- Common sense
- Sense of shame
- Sense of purpose
A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this
Psalm 92:6

It’s not unusual for one or more of our boys to grab some sticks or leaves to play with and then try to bring them in the house. So when my wife came home and saw this:
she assumed one of the kids was playing with some nature and left it outside the front door.
Then she looked up.

A while back, Microsoft partnered with Ford to create their Sync platform.
Recently, the computer people at work added Microsoft Lync to all our computers.
I’m beginning to see a trend here. I think the Microsoft naming department might be staffed by the same people who have been creating spelling variations for baby girl names – just find an existing word and replace the letter “i” with the letter “y” and you’re good.
I thought I’d propose some new product names for Microsoft. I’m not sure there will be much of a market for each of these products, but that’s their problem.
- Microsoft Blync – not sure what this does, but it involves closing both of your eyes quickly.
- Microsoft Clync – their version of a jail.
- Microsoft Drync – in case you’re thirsty.
- Microsoft Jynx – if two people use this product at the same time, it locks up until you contact customer support.
- Microsoft Mync – their version of faux fur.
- Microsoft Pync – in case they invent a bright new color
- Microsoft Rync – where their hockey team plays, of course.
- Microsoft Stync – perfume?
- Microsoft Thync – mind-control device. No, not for controlling your mind – for you to use your mind to control other things.
- Microsoft Wync – the half-price version of Blync.
- Microsoft Zync – their proprietary metal alloy.
Any other product name suggestions? Or better uses for or descriptions of these names?
Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.

Here’s a story that Gamma wrote for kindergarten.
There are 5 pages in the story All About Rabbits.
For each page, I’ll type out what he wrote then I’ll translate it.

Anyone else disappointed at how solar walkway lights perform?
I don’t want to see the lights – I want to see the path, the area around the lights to be illuminated.
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

They were the police, the jury, and the executioner all in one.
They were The Commissioners.
So maybe he’s not the executioner. But he will approve your sentence and then hear your appeal and decide if he agrees with himself or with you.
Then I charged your judges at that time, saying, “Hear the cases between your fellow countrymen, and judge righteously between a man and his fellow countryman, or the alien who is with him.”
Deuteronomy 1:16

This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
This is Gamma, the third-born, when he was about 18MO.
