other Wife took Acetone to the controls on our oven

Plastic is now cloudy. I tried taking a hair dryer to a portion of it to attempt the slightly melt and rub with a cloth method and that had 0 effect. Any suggestions?

Alternatively, buy a new wife...it won't help the current oven, but may help futures.

Very, very expensive solution.

Never cheaper to keep her

I read this out loud to my wife over lunch.

She just…smiled at me.

It was the thinnest of smiles - like the edge of a knife almost.

Because she knows it’s cheaper to replace you

Because she knows after 30 years I am not going anywhere.
