The D A Porter story is unlikely to be completed. He died several years ago. I completed one of his stories, but never again.

not being able to sit for long must be a pain in the butt

that's where using a Baluns chair (I hope I spelt that right) helps because it takes the weight on the thighs and shins, also you can use a standing desk to work at for a while. There are now desks available that you can raise and lower to use as both a standing and sitting desk - I'd rather just get a tall desk and a bar stool.

Not me. I am heavy and I have disproportionately short arms and legs (thighs in particular). I am very uncomfortable on any chair or stool where my feet don't reach the floor. And typically with bar stools/chairs, the cross supports / foot rests are too low for me to use, leaving me with my feet just dangling.

I've always like those chairs (I forget their name) that supposedly help cure curvature of the spine (slouching). Instead of sitting on your ass, you sit on your shins with a support under your thighs. I'd still be using it now, but most of them weren't well-made, and fell apart within a couple of years.

You may not like them though, as your feet dangle behind you, and they're a little tricky getting in and out of (you lean on one leg and pull your other leg out to stand on it, then stand up).

They're what i was referring to earlier, I checked and this is a link about them - the Balans chair
