You know you are addicted if you telecommute to an IT job and always mute your phone and play your uke during meetings. The other day when I thought I was muted someone asked who had their radio on... Oops!

  I really like the dolphin comment. The same happens to me when I here shark, they use to scare me. Shark is a double whammy cause mentally I say, snark, snark, snark.

  Shark and Dolphin are by definition Kala UKE models and anybody that thinks they are a species of FISH (or mammal) are just plain WRONG. LOL

  That hasn’t happened to me yet, but one time while talking on the phone to a friend, I was tuning one of my ukes, and he just stopped talking for like a whole 2 minutes because he thought that I put him 'on hold' and was listening to some avante-guard elevator music...

  You know your addicted if in the first 18 months of playing, you've gone through 16 ukes (guilty, but down to four now, and I know I'm addicted to bass ukes because in less than a year I have 6).

  Eighteen ukes and counting (in 30 months since I started playing), and I have released/re-homed/sold exactly NONE of them. I will sell a few unplayed guitars first though.

  Don't play with ME - I have a real problem deciding which of the only 1 or 2 ukes (of the 18 mentioned above) that I will take with me when the alarm sounds, and if both hands are full and I'm also wearing a backpack (my bug-out bag), WHO is going to take the CAT?!?! Maybe he learns to surf when the tsunami hits the USA East Coast...
  
  For me, what's worse than that is when I am NOT playing the ukulele, I am sort of going over drills, scales and chord progressions in my head (and can even HEAR the uke in my mind) and I'm off mentally rehearsing songs, while trying to induce the sensation into my fingertips of actually PLAYING, even when no uke is in hand. Maybe I'm just 'mental' to begin with?
  
  When I'm NOT actually playing, I am intensely THINKING about playing...
  
  Cassie - THANK YOU so very much for this thread, this is a WONDERFUL topic! and one of the reasons why I love the folks here on UU so much, yes, I LOVE YOU! I said it and I do have a ukulele addiction problem -- MUUUAAAAAHHHH!!!

When you pass by a lovely woman with an hourglass figure and think first of the body shape of a ukulele before anything else.

When you pick up your uke in the morning before your first cup of coffee and cigarette.

When every spare moment of the freakin day is spent looking at online ukulele marketplaces instead of p***.
