My normal temp is 96 is this ok temp had 96 for years?

It's fine: That is fine if you feel well and have no symptoms, particularly if you had that temperature for years. There is nothing special with 98.6. That is only an average of "normal" people's temps. That means, normal temp will run higher in some and lower in others.
