Fry em!

I actually do not like fried green tomatoes, but my wife loves them. Do
get them off the ground, I use survey tape for tying but used stockings
would be perfect for you. Hoist them up. If they have any color (other
than green) then they will ripen on the counter.

Our tomatoes are pretty much finished for the year in NE GA.

One of my plants has quite a few very large tomatoes but they're not
ripening. They're so big their weight has them either sitting, or nearly
sitting on the ground. I'm afraid they're just going to split. Should I
pick them and hope that they get ripe sitting on the kitchen counter?
