^^ what's that? whatever it is it looks fun.

I have swings in the garden, they actually belong to my siblings but who says I can't have a go?
I've got a rocking chair in my room, the only downside is it creaks like mad, so anytime I sit on it it's "eeeeeerrh eeeeerh eeerh" (creaking sounds if you're wondering, how the hell do I type those?)

It's a yoga ball in a chair so you can bounce on it while you're sitting, and it is fun. I've been using it for years.

I would love to have a swing set again. Can't afford one though, and I don't have any space for something like that anyway.

I recently got a chair that was advertised in the store as a "stress free chair". It kind of bounces and rocks. I don't usually bounce/rock very often, only when nervous or excited, but in this chair I bounce all the time, especially since my foot is always moving and it moves the chair with it now. It's awesome. :D

I have a swing chair. My cat likes to jump on my lap while I swing on it too.

I loved the tire swing when I was younger. I was over at my mother's friends house and I knew their daughter but I was swinging on that tire for hours. I even injured myself when I was spinning on it and drew blood. But no matter, I still swung on it.
My other friend had a hammock that I used to hide in. They had a dog too so you could tell where I was and who I was hanging with over all the other children at that house.

I have a rocker gaming chair, a yoga ball, and a hammock. They are the only furniture other than my bed that I use on a regular basis.

My answer's not on the poll. I have a rocking chair (well, it's my mom's), but nobody ever uses it. It's placed right inbetween two windows and the old cat's always sleeping on it anyway.

As for the swing, I two swingsets (one came with a house we moved into) and I loved them. Though the round swing broke off once when I was in mid-air so that kind of turned me off of them lol Don't worry, I suprisingly didn't get hurt! :wink:

Mom said I also used to love my baby swing and it'd put me to sleep.

I have a rocking chair but I don't use it. I had a back injury a few years ago and it's uncomfortable to use the rocking chair since then. My autistic son sits in it all the time to watch TV, though. I noticed he likes to sit in the rocking chair in his classroom, too.

We have a swing on the balcony and I like it. Though I don't want to sit on it with my husband. I worry that he's too heavy and our combined weight would break it. He's average sized, so not all that heavy but I can't stop worrying.

I don't have either, but only because I haven't found the right one. I love swings especially. There's a playground nearby that I could hang out at for hours. I know where all the swings are for about a 2 mile radius from my house. :)
