Default No Coolant In Top Rad Hose

Ok, so when driving home one night my engine started overheating, so I shut her down and noticed that I was spewing antifreeze, ((found out where it was coming from)), anywho, I changed out the thermostat and now I'm getting no coolant in my top rad hose, someone PLEASE tell me what's wrong, this is my only car and I can't afford to have it break down.

Did you bleed the air out of the system???. There are two bleeder screws. One at the passenger side of the engine, at the bypass hose area. the other one is on the drivers side at the thermostat housing area............

Yes I did the bleeder screws, I'm not a rere, the top rad hose didn't have ANY at all when starting the engine, and after running it till it overheated again.

But I did get it fixed, I actually took off the top of the rad hose, fed coolant into it and some in the tube for the thermostat put it back on, ((changed out the thermostat too)) and ran the bleeder nuts, she runs like a champ now.
