@elisakent,
Hi elisakent,
I think you may have one or two wrong answers as some of my suggestions (in
BOLD and
underlined below) will not fit with the letters provided.

8d getting on the wrong side of ford c???s?n? CROSSING
15d minders help her majesty into limo ?a?e?e I think CARERS - in crosswords here, her majesty usually refers to queen elizabeth or "ER" (elizabeth regina); inside "cars" (does the clue specify "limos" rather than the singular, I wonder?)
13a soft drink company takes on los angeles is it cola or soda or am i right off track COLA (company is "co" and los angeles is "la")
21a dessert sailor and offer no comeback ?t?n?o? This is ABANDON I'm sure - check that "t"! Sailor usually means either "AB" for able-bodied or "tar" which is an old name for an old sea-salt type person. So "ab" with "and" and "no" backwards.
69a opinion on the purpose of outlook ?o?n? o? i?d? i think the last 2 words r of idea POINT OF VIEW is my suggestion - check that "d" and "i"!
Hope that helps & good luck!
