Can I get my sticky note to stay on my screen, when not utilizing my second monitor, so I can continue to 'speak' between both at the same time?

As far as I know, you cannot. The Sticky Notes will be sent back to your desktop, so if you are clicking, you will have to open them again at the bottom menu of your computer.
