You are kidding, right?

None of the a/c flown by most of us can be 'flown' while stalled no
matter how much engine power is applied. They may be flown below normal
stall speed in such a config but they are not stalled. They can be
'dragged in' below stall speed and even smoothly landed, but not
stalled. And with power-on, the stall will probably be more exciting.

Most of my landings are "full stall". The horn goes off whitht he
nose way "up there", then the stall breaks. Being that close to the
runway it just drops onto the mains, nose high.

But I agree. Once that wind stalls you are not going to stay up there.
If you don't come down the wing isn't stalled.

Stall speed and a stalled wing are 2 different things. Right?

While this may be generally the case, it is not of necessity true. One
can stall and maintain altitude (with power). Maintain one foot of
altitude, and gradually reduce power on a calm day. Greaser.
