How do I stand up for my wife over something that happened months ago?

Long story short, back when my wife and I were dating there were a few times crap went down between her and her friends or her and my family and I never stood up for her. Its nothing Im proud of and for the most part I always took it as problems that would just blow over. But she never got over the fact that I didnt stand up for her and its always bothered her. She lost trust and respect towards me because I didnt speak up or take sides. A few months ago we were separated and someone commented on one of my fb pictures and referenced her looks. Later on when we got back together someone told her about the comments and she flipped. I had forgotten about them entirely because I didnt see them as important. But I shouldnt have let ANYONE say anything negative about her ever. I know this. There are no excuses. But how do I fix this now? Do I bring it up to the people who i really dont talk to anymore just to try and get her some closure or what? We were on a really good track and and then this pretty much gouged open her old wounds. Shes hurt and doesnt want to talk to me because she feels betrayed. What do I do? And how do i fix this?

Just replaced the brakes and resurfaced the pads, BIG PROBLEM?

Front right grinds like crazy. I drove home and checked out the rotor and it was already full of gouges. My guess is metal on metal but I'd like some other opinions. Also it doesn't brake near as well.

Would you rather the health care plan include a Public Option, to help keep the cost down for consumers?

That way insurance companies would have competition not to gouge USA citizens and we'd all be covered.

Quickest Route to Decent Employment?

First of all get any job you can so you can earn money, I did a job I hated but it was temp for three months which was what kept me going. I'm currently taking a study from home accounting course which will take two years and me around �2000. If you have few qualifications you will probably get financial help if you study through a college even if it's part time.

Relocating a grand piano?

So.... I am in the process of buying a new house and was wondering if it was okay using a normal moving company to move the piano or would I have to get a company that specializes in moving only pianos? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

What do you think of these names?

For the girls, I like Elianna and Ava. For the boys I like Parker, Aiden (my suggestion) Luke, and Joseph (my suggestion) Layne. Phoebe is an ok name, I probably wouldn't name my kid that.

What should I specialize my knowledge in?

My family expects me to be perfect at something. My brother is ' The Master of useless Facts'. You can ask him to give you a random fact and he'll give you 20. I don't know what to do, or specialize my knowledge in. I play the piano well, I get good grades, and cook a little, but that is about it. I want to be good at something in particular, butI am not sure what to do. What should I specialize my knowledge in?
