Cold more easily? it's kinda the opposite ith me... I kinda got used to being cold...so while everyone's slapping on double layers of jackets in 50 degree winter nights I just stand there with flip flops and t-shirt. (I do feel cold... but it just doesn't bother me anymore, and I won't shiver so long as I keep my core temp up)

This is how I am, too. I used to ALWAYS feel uncomfortably cold, if the temps dropped below 50F. Now, unless the wind is howling out of the north, the cold doesn't really bother me. Just the same, I'm not real interested in going quarry-diving in the middle of winter. LOL

quick hijack? Hot water after diving is bad. Do you know these other options are okay after diving aggressive profiles? (as relates to increased chance of DCS hit)

I've been jumping in my hot tub for 9 years after diving... and I haven't had a DCS hit yet.. I've read about this theory... but I know a number of people that take hot showers, hot baths and jump in hot tubs immediately after cold water diving... and no one has ever had a DCS hit...
