Hey, everybody, thanks!

why does the rosary have to be on the ceiling and not on the wall?
The ceiling was the only “empty slate.” The walls have windows, doors, and marks from where posters used to be. Plus, I already have it on the ceiling. While making it, I ruined a couple CDs while trying to move them. I used regular scotch tape to attach them to the ceiling, and sometimes the tape would rip the shiny foil off, leaving a clear spot in the CD. (Inspired, I tried to carve AVE in one CD and put a different color CD behind it. Didn’t work as well as I’d wanted.)
I think, though, if I’m careful enough (or find enough “backup” CDs of the same color), I might move the… pendant is it called? the section with three hail marys… I might move that to a different “our father/glory be” CD, and have it hang down the wall, then buy a wall crucifix.
Debbie - that takes so much work! Actually, the
cross/crucifix thing I have on the wall on the other end of the room is about the perfect size - 15x12 inches. Though, it is pretty much two-dimensional. I like the foam idea, though. It can fall on my head and not wake me up.
CatholicSam - I have to be really careful in case it falls off - nothing too heavy - it’s right above where my head goes when I sleep.

Ahem. Illegally copied? Whassup?
So what, my brother was immature at one point in his life. He was getting rid of the CDs and I asked if I could have them. If it makes you feel any better, some of them are free aol promotions that came in the mail and in cereal boxes.

Oh, I agree!
Other than that, isn’t attatching the crucifix to the wall enough?
Yes, but then it will be about three feet from where it belongs.
My church use to hang a crucifix over the altar from the ceiling, but I think they considered it too dangerous and took it down.
Smart move. I, too, do not want to wake up in the middle of the night because of a falling crucifix.
The sacramentals are falling! The sacramentals are falling!

If you could change the CD Positionings, you could make the end just start to go from the cieling onto the wall, and put the crucifix on the wall
A possibility, as mentioned above, though I can’t move all of them, because the foil peels off, as mentioned above.
edward_george - hmm, I like that idea. Cheap, safe, and cool-looking. Where does one purchase spray adhesive? I’ve never heard of it.

I thought you said crucifixes didn’t exist around where you lived…
Or was that just of the variety that you hang around your neck…
Wall crucifixes are plentiful. Every classroom in my school, and most rooms in my house, have a wall crucifix. And the two rosaries I own, plus all the other ones I’ve seen, have crucifixes. I’ve only seen about three people wear crucifixes around their necks.
OMG, I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA!
CATHOLIC BLING!
Buy a huge crucifix used for walls,. and tie that around your neck!
I should do that one day…
No. This is a bad idea.
