What I mean by that is exact number minded instead of rounding off to the nearest ten. I'm exact minded and my family insists that exact numbers doesn't make sense. Example of rounding off to the nearest ten or nearest number: something costs $1.99, but really it's $2.00. Does any of that make sense to you?

It depends. When I ask for the time I want the exact time. I don't want to hear the rounded time, such as 10:55 when it is really 10:52. Those three minutes make a big difference especially for someone like me who struggles with time management. Prices don't need to be exact, especially since we don't have pennies here. The only time I am rigid about exact numbers is when I am making something such as a tool or a clock part.

Yes, it makes sense! That's how I think whenever I see prices. Why do they fool around with "$29.98?" Just say $30! Also, I really prefer even numbers.
Sometimes I cannot deal with numbers, money, insurance, any form that relates to financial dealings. I just want to run in the opposite direction.
Other times, I can deal with these things beautifully!
I am an artist and I may do a painting re all the above. It would be abstract but we would be able to understand it. Hope that makes sense!

in most cases, i like the numbers rounded up.

the only exception is when it's almost time for 1 of my rooteens

so.. i have dinner every night at half 5, it's no point someone saying to me it's 6 or it's 5, when it's say 2 minits before i'm meant to eat

but my rooteens are the only exception.. i do like my rounded numbers
