Cold as ICE

I took my temp the other day (I've been under the weather) and it was 97.2. The next day I wanted to make sure it was accurate and therefore didn't drink any fluids for a while before taking my temp again. This time? 95.8 Heh. My body temp may be cool but I still have a warm heart! Turns out, the women in my family all have low body temps. And in fact, when we get a cold, the temp drops. If we do get a fever of 99 or 100 then we're pretty freaking sick. I read something that said if your body temp runs lower then you tend to live longer. The women on my mom's side prove that to be true. Most of them lived well into their 90s and a few were at least 100 when they died.
