I did the bleeding thing and I thought it was working fine. Started her up this morning and went off to work and wouldn't you know it temp guage started to creep to H, I tried to turn on the heater to try and cool it down and no luck, I did notice that the heater while on was not blowing hot air is blowing cold air.........I need HELP. COULD IT BE THE T-STAT?

Change your thermostat, water pump, and radiator cap. It's a better idea to change them all that way you can know for sure that they arn't the problem. If you only change one you will constatly be searching down the problem. After installing all of those warm your car up and loosen the bleeder screw and the end of the top radiator hose. Then squeeze the hose slowly untill it feels like all the air is out of the line.
Now for something negative. Learn to search. It saves you a world of embarrassment.
